RE: New York, etc.

1. Not good. His mom was only 61 and they had just moved to a resort community outside San Antonio. His father is very bad. Russell broke up talking to me about him.

2. Inappropriate to cancel or proceed?

3. O.K.

4. O.K., I have to ensure we do not make a unilateral decision that effects Peoples choices.

5. O.K.

6. Hear you.

7. O.K., new item. Am I to be doing any type of ranking/review/PRC/appraisal/etc. of my employees? Seem to have time on my hands and desperately need to remain focused and productive.

And... please let me know if I can help you... Louise the person.

Well... I am back and checking in with you.

Several things:

1) Russell's mom passed away on Friday. Funeral is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:00 p.m. in Lubbock, Texas. I am trying to make arrangements to attend, but it doesn't look probable due to flights.

2) I want your input on canceling the NY trip. I appreciate your support in letting me proceed to this point. The remaining benefit was to get everyone together with you to calm the nerves and set a course. I understand you will not be able to attend. It seems there is a general public belief (from PEC & Keyspan) that many Enron employees will not have a job after this week. If they believe that, it is entirely inappropriate to be doing anything celebratory or we will be deemed as ruthless. I want to make this call immediately. We have only spent an incremental $500.00 in the reviving of this event.

3) Per my e-mail on 11/16, I want to ensure that ENA retains Deirdre McCaffrey who is currently in the freight group. Can we please move her into my group?

4) A small investment firm has approached us with an inquiry into enovate. They want us to sign a confidentiality to discuss further. Your thoughts...

5) Per our conversation last week, I have not received any package at my home.

5) Is there anything productive I can do to help you?
