Re:

I asked him (and John Nowlan) to call you about this project that looks
pretty cool. I thought you could lend a hand. (John Montcrief also does wet
shipping for the crude and products group in London and works for Nowlan as
well.) It looks pretty interesting. Let me know what you think. Thanks....

I called this guy back and he introduced himself to me and in the same
breath, told me he had ''forgotten more about freight this week than that
French guy in London will ever know!'' I didn't allude that I knew the
French guy. I'm looking forward to the freight cat-fight... be sure to call
me when it happens so I don't miss any of the biting or hair-pulling!
