Subject: Corporate Secretary Replacement


As you guys probably know, I will be officially retired on January 1, 2002; therefore, the meeting on November 12th will be my last and a good time to elect my successor.  Thanks for letting me continue as your corporate secretary after stepping down from that position at Enron.  I don't think I could have let go "cold turkey," and I loved EOTT because of my fondness for the directors and most of the management.  (I'll reserve comments on some members of management who are no longer with us.)  I have really enjoyed it since Stan-the-Man got involved, and the morale and operating results show how positive that was for the company.  I have also been a long time admirer of Good-Golly-Miss-Molly and loved working with Walt Zimmerman.  So, it is my hope and sincere recommendation that Walt be selected to succeed me.  He has demonstrated repeatedly that he is capable of doing the job -- in fact, he has been doing the job for a long time, all except the actual taking of the minutes, and he has relieved me of that duty on more than one occasion.  He's a person of integrity, loyalty, and dedication, and I know the Directors like him.  I hope you two agree.
 
I'll miss you guys, and Mollie, I'd love to have lunch with you and Walt anytime.  I'll also be available for any help and advice that I can give.
 
Thanks again.
 
Much love, Peggy Sue
