Bloss Mr. Jeffrey D. Alario Mr. Wisner H. Buckbee Mr. Philip S. Demarest Mr. Robert J. DeValentino Mr. Herb Gareiss, Jr. Mr. Thomas H. Gray Mr. Douglas J. Mello Mr. Joseph J. Morrow Dear Members of the Board of Directors, ** CORRECTION ** We apologize for the mistake we made in the letter to you dated March 30, 2007 in which we had stated that there were just THREE directors that do not own any WWVY stock and who never purchased any stock of the Company. We overlooked the fact that there are actually FOUR directors who never purchased any stock in the Company and who own no shares of WWVY. Thus 44.44% of the directors own no shares and have no idea of the pain shareholders have suffered. And it should be noted a FIFTH director, ex-CEO Gareiss, despite being with the Company for 28 years, does not even own any shares directly. Thus, it may be clearly seen from the following tabulation of present and most recently resigned Board menders that over half of the Board (55.55%) never invested any of their own hard earned money in the stock of the Company they control. See below Name Shares Owned Last Date & # of Shares or Action Jeffrey D Alario NONE No shares have ever been purchased Kelly C. Bloss NONE No shares have ever been purchased Thomas A. Gray, CEO NONE No shares have ever been purchased Douglas J, Mello NONE No shares have ever been purchased Robert DeValentino 2,400 May 5, 2005, 500 shares Herb Gareiss, Jr.* 25,026* Dec. 2, 2005, 1,076 shares * All shares held in 401K. Mr. Gareiss does not own any shares directly Wisner H Buckbee Sr. 17,742 Dec 9, 2004, 400 shares Joseph E.DeLuca 6,000 Sept. 23, 2004, purchased 1,000 shares Philip M. Demarest 25,298 Dec 23, 2004, sold 1,000 shares Joseph J. Morrow 3,000 Never Filed date of shares purchased Corrina Lewis -- Sold shares and resigned from Board Fred M. Knipp -- Sold shares and resigned from Board We sincerely apologize for our error and any confusion or harm that it may have caused. Once again, to claruify, we repeat, the record shows that FOUR of our nine board members have never purchased any WWVY stock and therefore FOUR ? 44.44% of all board members ? and not just three, own no shares of WWVY stock at all. Sincerely, Lawrence J. Goldstein Exhibit 2: Agreement of Joint Filing Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of the undersigned persons hereby agrees to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Statement on Schedule 13D (the ?Statement?) to which this Agreement is attached as an exhibit, as well as any further amendments filed by them with respect to the shares of common stock of Warwick Valley Telephone Company, $.01 per value per share, and agree that the Statement is filed on behalf of each of them.
