Hi, David. I'm glad that you joined us. You sould like a remarkably dynamic person, and I'm sure that you will add much to the group. I have to add, however,...
CJ I do not think there was a breakfast meeting this morning. If so then I may have missed the advertisement for it. Is anything going on with that? Do we ...
You may be right, Michael. It's a good think I didn't drag my poor broken body out of bed at 5:30 am to meet at 8:00 for breakfast. Andrea - what's the story?...
... Yes! We will be meeting in 2003. We have some good speakers chomping at the bit to talk to the group - and more than enough attendee interest. The long...
I'm not sure about breakfast, but you might want to try the William Penn Inn. Which reminds me - I forgot to let everyone know that I'm speaking there...

I agree with Tracy. There's so much more to free agenting than just the money, or even just the flexibility to be home with the kids. I think it is a...
