FROM: Lucient O. DATE: 12/05/05 TO: Max Subject: Conference Hey Max You sure you don't want to come to the conference? They're holding it in Oahu this year. I'm perfectly willing to go if you don't want to--and I understand about your not wanting to go into the public eye or whatever (even though it's batty)--but most of this stuff is your area of expertise. I heard that Eckleson might be there, too--is that what you're avoiding? Did you get the pictures of my nephew's wedding? -L.O.
