Since the Rolland family transferred their shares of the fine paper company, which bears the family name, to us in 1992, our business relationship has been filled with nothing but deep mutual respect. We were impressed by Mr. Rolland's vitality, right up to the end. On our own behalf and on behalf of our employees, we wish to extend our sincere condolences to his entire family."
