Conference Call on Friday, March 17th

Hello Nick:

I agree e-mail is much easier.

There is a two-hour time difference between Calif and Texas, i.e., 1:00 pm
Texas Time - 11:00 am Calif time.

Would tomorrow at 11:00 am Calif time be ok with you (1:00 pm Texas)?
This time is fine for Vince, Tom Gros and Stinson Gibner.

Can they call you and if so, what number?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Shirley

Shirley,

It's easier to communcate by e-mail, since I am moving from
meeting to meeting (but I have the laptop always with me).

Please give me a phone number that I could call tomorrow.
What is the time difference between California and your
location? I think it's 2 hours (CA-<TX) - is that right?

I can do the conference call any time from 9-11 CA time.
Would that be OK on your side?

Thanks,

Nick
