Jeff, I am headed to Istanbul & the Greek Isles for vacation in late June. I happened to be talking with Rebecca who indicated that you guys had just gotten back from Istanbul for a wedding & that you have a brother that lives there. We will be in Istanbul for only 3 days & want to make the best use of time possible. I think that Rebecca mentioned that you knew of a private guide that we might be able to book for full or half days. I would love to do that & wondered if you might have the name & phone number of the guide. Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on what there is to do & if you have any restaurant recomendations. We are staying at the same hotel that you & Rebecca just stayed at & it will be the first time in Istanbul for both of us. Jeff, thanks in advance for your insight & help!!! Cheryl

Errol, Could you refresh my memory on who you sent the Canadian gas deals to for valuation? Sheila Glover is requesting that we gather the valuations and documentation for those transactions this week. As RBC owes Enron the settlement amount, we'd like to move quickly on this one. Thanks very much for your help. Please call if you have any questions at all.
Answer: trade values
As we begin to work on our board/senior management retreat for 2003, we would like to test your interest in the possibility of holding the meeting in Shanghai during the week of June 15, 2003. The tentative schedule would be to travel on Monday, June 16, arriving in Shanghai on Tuesday. Meetings would take place Wednesday through Saturday, with departures on Sunday. Please let me know if such a schedule would be feasible for you, keeping in mind that at this point we're simply trying to determine if you would be able to devote this week to the trip.

Answer: Board/Senior Management Retreat - June 2003
Harvard University Club of Houston - Harvard Forum "Pathways to Success: What it Takes to Move from Dorm Room to Board Room in Two Easy Decades" Dinner and Discussion Club Following upon the rousing success of the Club's first Harvard Forum "Raising Children of Character in A World of Affluence," the Harvard Club of Houston is conducting another Harvard Forum. We plan to have three during the current academic year. For those of you unfortunate enough to have missed the first Forum, the format works like this: we'll have dinner, and then a panel of Harvard grads will give brief introductions to the evening's topic from their perspective, and then we will all engage the topic for ourselves in a moderated discussion. The panel members will be knowledgeable, but not so expert that anyone will be intimidated. They will, however, be provocative to assure that the subsequent conversation is lively. You will come away knowing your fellow Club members better than ever - maybe better than you ever wanted. We hope that the topic we've picked for the second Forum will be captivating to recent and older alumni alike. Our panelists will cover the spectrum of vocational experience, not all business people; and you might argue whether some even have a vocation. Some will identify the critical factors in achieving success, while others will argue that all personal planning is an exercise in self-delusion. We are confident that the discussion will be informative and lively. Because of the format, only the first 40 people can be accepted. We had to turn away people last time, so please respond promptly, as indicated below. When: Saturday, September 22, 7:30 p.m. Where: Briar Club, 2603 Timmons (East Briar Room) Cost: $35.00 per person Reservations: Email dottie@kerr-solutions.com or call 281/424-3084 (Payment must be made at time of reservation by credit card or mailing check to 3413 Cobblestone Lane, Baytown, TX 77521-1956.)
