Thank you, Sharon. Good morning and thank you for joining our second quarter conference call. We respect and appreciate your time and your interest in Washington Trust. I'll briefly comment on the quarter and then Ron will provide more detail on the financial results. After our prepared remarks, Mary and Bill will join us for the Q&A session. Washington Trust's second quarter results reflect our diversified business model performing positively. We realized growth in net interest income, wealth management revenue, and mortgage banking and we continued to build capital. This was a solid quarter with loan and deposit growth on target. This quarter, while we continue to focus on deposit generation, we enhanced our wealth management team with the addition of a new client services manager and business development additions to our wealth advisory and private clients teams. This added expertise will be instrumental as we continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our clients and communities and continue to provide the highly personalized consultative experience It has defined our firm for generations. Also in the quarter, we finalized the conversion of our core wealth management system, which will ensure enhanced customer experience. The company remains committed to providing exceptional full-service banking, mortgage, and wealth services to our customers and is focused on continuing to be a financial partner that provides solutions and resources that customers need for all life stages and the unique opportunities and challenges that come with those milestones. I'll now turn the call over to Ron for some additional details on the quarter. We'll then be glad to address any of your questions. Ron.
