 providers because of the company's progressive technology approach," said
 Ronald W. Page, senior managing director of GCO ELF.  "As a result of this
 approach, they are rated among the top servicers in the nation, and we are
 confident they will extend the benefits of their technology and customer
 service to GCO ELF and our clients."
