Problem: BODY: Jim - The early estimate of $100,000 was way low and ignored Options. Short answer: Avg. Board fees in 2000 were $79,000 (about 1/3 required to be deferred). Plus avg. phantom stock grant of $53,000 and stock options of $205,000, for total AVG 2000 value of $337000. Obviously big variable is value of options, which are based on a fixed number but a varying Black Scholes value. Paula

Problem: BODY: I looked thru the attached 10K for NSTAR and could find no "NSTAR Companies" entity listed there. Maybe you'll have better luck, or are smarter and will find it (since I failed so miserably on you know what today! ).
