Dear Group,

Just like to let you guys know what a great feeling I get interacting with Boris. We have exchanged numerous E-mails as well as chatted
with each other over the telephone. His responsiveness and helpfulness to me, as well as exuding warmth in what he puts in writing are certainly qualities I respect and admire.

We will be meeting in Rio on Novemeber 12, 2001; I am eagerly looking forward to the "guy in the blue T shirt."

Lou

Lou,

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll see you on the 12th.

Boris
