Not my part of the business even before I retired, but what the Chinook folk (and others) did was quite exemplary. The number of DFCs given to Chinook folk speaks volumes. So I am really pleased to...

Your last statement may be true. But only if those non-white males and females have been denied the opportunity because of their race or gender.
