060901 - Today, submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Ross responding to his letter dated
060902 - 080617, ref DRP 7 0001, received a day later on 080618, ref SDS 17

060909 -
060910 -    1.  Very glad to hear you have kept up with running shown by plans
060911 -        to enter the Hartford marathon in the fall [cited in Ross'
060912 -        letter on 080616, ref SDS 17 Q86R].  Going forward, investment
060913 -        will pay off well financially and physically as 50 and 60 loom.

060916 -         ..
060917 -    2.  I thought Stu was a senior last year, and headed to college.
060918 -        Hope he did will in finals.  As well, I hope he does not get
060919 -        injured in football.  Incidentally, is Stu involved in track,
060920 -        basketball, wrestling, other than football, i.e., cross
060921 -        training? ref DIT 1 UF6G
060923 -  ..
060924 - Letter several years ago on 061015 responded to Ross contributing to
060925 - Stu's football games "moving the chains" for down markers. ref SDS 6
060926 - JI9L  Evidently, since Stu is only a Junior this year, he must have
060927 - been a sophmore in 2006.
060929 -  ..

060931 -
060932 -    3.  How about Hutch; has he kept up with some athletics?  Do either
060933 -        of the boys run with you?  Have they joined the throng of
060934 -        Obomaites? ref DIT 1 UF6N
060936 -         ..
060937 -    4.  Did Nina's daughter get to Annapolis?  How is that going?
060938 -        ref DIT 1 QA7G
060940 -         ..
060941 -    5.  Looks like you and Claudia will have another year, before being
060942 -        on your own.  Wonderful that you two have transitioned into a
060943 -        strong, and loving life together, with your trip to San
060944 -        Francisco celebrating 25 years of marriage.  That's a great
060945 -        achievement. ref DIT 1 UF7K

060953 -
060954 -    6.  Mil and I work fairly closely with doctors and other providers.
060955 -        This brings concern about Hutch jumping into the middle of
060956 -        essentially a morass.  Millie had surgery on Tuesday.
060957 -        ref SDS 18 0001, ordered by her doctor to facilitate a medical
060958 -        test scheduled for 080718.  The test was coordinated with the
060959 -        surgery months ago.  Yesterday, we mosey over to the testing
060960 -        department and find out nothing is lined up. ref SDS 20 OC9G,
060961 -        ref DIT 1 UF7R
060963 -         ..
060964 -    7.  You might mention to Hutch that medicine, like banking,
060965 -        engineering, most everything requires attention to details
060966 -        along the lines his great grandmother Lucille described for
060967 -        figuring out how to get the "cat, the fox, and hen across the
060968 -        river" without any of them eating the other, noted in a
060969 -        Mother's Day card for Lucille on 930505. ref SDS 1 EY59,
060970 -        ref DIT 1 UF9L
060972 -         ..
060973 -    8.  Speaking of cannibalization, hope your shop is weathering the
060974 -        financial meltdown.  Sounds like a re-run of 2000 [reviewed on
060975 -        001207, ref SDS 2 V54M]. ref DIT 1 UF4L
060977 -         ..
060978 -    9.  Amidst a rising cacophony of failure, we see a rush to cell
060979 -        phones, Ipods, and games as the most popular "killer
060980 -        applications" for reducing productivity.  Eventually folks will
060981 -        focus on good management, and energy as the engine of
060982 -        prosperity. ref DIT 1 UF4S
060984 -  ..
060985 - On 060809 Ross mentioned enjoying "moving the chains" in the world of
060986 - high finance. ref SDS 5 GQ6Q  This "Ponzi" world is now rapidly
060987 - crumbling into total disorder, and with political leaders squabbling
060988 - for advantage fashioning a "bailout" that will likely make things
060989 - worse.  Hopefully Ross and his team can help pickup the pieces before
060990 - critical mass occurs, causing massive failure.
060992 -               ..
060993 -              [On 080919 follow up letter asks about weathering the
060994 -              storm on Wall Street. ref SDS 21 IL5H
060996 -               ..
060997 -              [On 080923 Ross submits report that Stu rushed for 293
060998 -              yards in a winning effort for the high school football
060999 -              team. ref SDS 22 PF6I
061001 -  ..
061002 - On 061015 commended Ross for "moving the chains" at Stu's football
061003 - games, and that this is the prescription for a winning economy, which
061004 - requires insisting on good management. ref SDS 6 4K7W
