Problem: BODY: Vince, I enjoyed your presentation at the SIAM workshop last Friday. I have a much greater appreciation for the difficult problems you all solve. If at all possible, I would like to get a copy of your talk and any references to review papers in the general area of market modeling and potentially control. Have a great weekend. Best Regards,

Problem: BODY: Dear Mr. Lay: Please do take care of the common shareholders and atleast provide them some stake and hope in all this reorganization. Please don't make the common man, the individual investor the loser. If you are kind in this regard, you will be remembered as a man with some principles and kindness who did not let down his company and his share holders and the public investors. May god bless you and may you be kind in turn to all of us poor investors caught in this. Thanks,
