Enron Mail |
Hi Jeff--
Hope you're well! Forgive me for taking advantage of my family ties on this. I'm getting a kick out of the calls I receive with increasing frequency from people who know my brother is Jeff Skilling and wish to know whether we're related or, as in the case of the included e-mail, to investigate a speaker for their group. I don't know whether this is possible or whether your group does this (I suspect they very well might given Enron's stellar reputation in this area), Jeff, but I met this fellow at the AMS annual meeting (actually it was in Los Angeles) a couple of years ago and he's writing to inquire about a speaker from Enron willing to talk to the Washington, D.C. American Meteorological Society Chapter about weather derivatives and the energy industry's interest in the weather. He an Air Force major and is clearly well informed and approaching the right folks in your team to address this issue. Any chance this can be done? My guess is they'd cover all expenses. Have to tell you, Jeff, that my VP/General Manager John Vitanovec came in the other evening and told me he'd just purchased more Enron stock and the good things he'd heard about it. I told him I just had bought some Enron too. I can remember him telling me of his first purchase a year or more ago. Everybody here knows my brother and I get such a kick out of that. You're regularly mentioned on our top rated morning show--they had your picture on just the other morning. Sorry to take your time on this, Jeff. Please don't worry about this if there's any problem with it. I hope you're well. Please give my best to Rebecca and to Sherri! Take care (and no more pies)! Tom JEFF--- Here's the e-mail inquiring about an Enron speaker from Major Kenneth Carey, U.S. Air Force, The Pentagon. Thanks! Tom Tom Hello from our Nation's Capital! You and I met at the AMS Annual Meeting in San Diego in 1999 (see attached picture of you and I!). You're very well known and I applaud all of the good things you're doing for both your Chicago and national viewers, weather-wise, but, more importantly, your tremendous and positive community involvement! <<Tom Skilling.bmp<< As a chapter officer with the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (DC AMS), I want to get the very best speakers with inspiring, entertaining, and thought-provoking topics for our chapter membership. I can't think of anything much more exciting in our profession than that of weather derivatives, and the products and services for our energy and agricultural sector that is a booming part of our field. I'd like to get someone from Enron to speak at one of our chapter meetings. I understand you may have an inside track to Enron and I wanted to inquire if you could help us get an appropriate person to talk to our chapter about weather for their business ventures. I'd like to also get someone from the weather provider perspectives, like a company like EarthSat Corp, so we could get a better understanding of both the weather provider and customer perspectives. I look forward to hearing from you and best of luck with your future professional and personal endeavors! Best Regards, Ken Kenneth Carey, Major, US Air Force Vice Chairman, District of Columbia AMS Chapter (703) 588-8628 Fax: (703) 588-0220 Kenneth.Carey@pentagon.af.mil
