Victorville and the valley around it are no more money losers then any
other areas, there is still growth up there, maybe not as much as a year
or so ago. I was up in the area right after GTE bought it, we went up
there to look at the co's since my manager was going to be over that
area. For a while it worked as a separate operating area as did the
former California Water Telephone areas did years ago. I have not been
up to the June Lake area in years, I traveled to Weaverville and a
couple of towns in that area, it was really nice but very remote.
