Thank you Rick. Those were very kind words. Everything will turn out ok. =
I believe that. -----Original Message----- From: =09Craig, Rick =20 Sent:=09Thursday, November 15, 2001 5:57 AM To:=09Horton, Stanley Subject:=09Reflections and Feedback Stan, I know you have a lot going on right now and probably don't need more= emails that seem to be coming from off the wall but I felt the need to exp= ress some of my thoughts about what's going on right now and I hope you wil= l take just a minute to listen. As you get older, you seem to reflect more= on things that are happening around you and how it affects you and those a= round you. Some might perceive this message as "sucking up" or "jockeying = for position" but nothing could be farther from the truth. This one is fro= m the heart. =20 First, I want to say that I believe that many of us in the pipelines have t= aken for granted over the years the kind and quality of leadership that we = have had. I want to thank you for being the kind of leader that you have b= een, one that's honest, straight forward, tells it like it is and yet will = make the tough calls when they need to be made, but always in the interest = of the company, the employees and its shareholders. I've been fortunate to= be able to work with you over the last ten or so years and know that you h= ave lived the Enron values. Had others run their business units the way yo= u have run the pipes, I truly belive that we would not be where we are at t= oday. Thank you for being the kind of leader you are. I for one appreciate= it. =20 For those of us that have poured our hearts and souls into this company for= most of our life, these are tough times and I know that you can certainly = relate to that. And while my financial well being and security has certain= ly been impacted, there are others out there far worse off than me and I ac= tually feel like I am truly blessed. Blessed to have been a part of such a= great company, blessed to work with the kind of people that have made this= company what it is and blessed to have the opportunity to rebuild a new an= d even better company. There are things in life much more important than m= oney, family (grandsons), life, challenges in your work, health and happine= ss. I don't know what the future holds for me or the company, I just know = it's part of a much bigger plan that I can't control. I also know that we = can't look back. What's done is done and it happend for a reason. What we= have to do is move on. If there's a meaningful role for me as we go forw= ard, I will approach it with the same commitment, dedication and enthusiasm= that I have any job I have had. If there's not, I'm at peace with that to= o. The success of this company, past, present and future will always be in= our people. Thanks for the time and thanks for the leadership you have pr= ovided ETS all these years. =20 WOW, does this sound depressing or what? It's really not meant to be. I h= ave a great attititude about what the future holds. Have a great day.
