Re: IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGES
Mike just called from the airport in Toronto, and it looks like he's going to be arriving late. There was some mix-up with his flight, I guess. Apparently, he told his secretary that he was expecting to be leaving tonight, but for some strange reason she booked the flight for tomorrow morning. That means that he won't be able to be here for his presentation. Anyway, he sounded really worried about it, and I didn't really known what else to do, so I said we'd rearrange the schedule. He won't be here until 11 o'clock at the earliest, so I'll have to put you and Richard first in Session 1. I know you were only scheduled to speak for about 30 minutes, but I'd really appreciate it if you could stretch your presentation out a bit - maybe have a question-and-answer session or something. You need to fill about an hour. I know it's last minute, but these things happen. Whenever he gets in, we can start his session, and it won't be too bad. I figure, at worst, we'll be running about half an hour late. Oh, and could you please let everyone know about the changes when you give your presentation tomorrow morning?
Thanks a lot for understanding.
See you tomorrow,
James Ransom
