0808 - Discussion
0809 -
080901 - Patty introduced me to Buck Olsen.  She did not indicate the nature
080902 - of her relationship with Buck, but he seemed to be interested in
080903 - helping her get a job.  He is 44.
080904 -
080905 -
080906 - Buck expressed interest in marketing SDS, though he is unsure what the
080907 - product actually does.  He indicated having contacts that could be
080908 - useful to marketing, which he has developed through a business rela-
080909 - tionship involving a financial institution.  My impression is that he
080910 - is an entrepreneur, and that he earned $187 K last year.
080911 -
080912 - He has performed PM for a variety of firms, including Dillingham,
080913 - but is no longer in that business.  Buck seemed to indicate his
080914 - father was the PM for Bechtal on a major project in Saudia Arabia.
080915 -
080916 - Buck has minimal experience with computers.  He will review the
080917 - brochure I sent Patty to gain a better understanding for the product,
080918 - and call me with his ideas on proceeding toward a marketing effort.
080919 - He will also try to get a computer so Patty can demo the product for
080920 - him.  I asked if he has business interests that might bring him to SF
080921 - for a demo, and he said no.
080922 -
080923 - Seminar
080924 -
080925 - Buck indicated he could assemble a variety of owner and high level
080926 - manager types for a demonstration of SDS.
080927 -
080928 - I asked about the objective of such a demo.  This is still unclear.
080929 - It might be to attract investors for a business to market the
080930 - product, and also to sell some systems.
