   My flight (UA 160) arrives in Boston at 4:43pm, and I should be at the
   hotel
   by 6pm.  We can plan on any time after that.  Would you prefer to have
   dinner at the hotel or go elsewhere?

      Opt4 is currently interviewing for two software engineering
   positions.
      Our
      needs currently center on Java and integrating Java with Oracle,
      WebLogic,
      and XML.  Your son looks like he may have background in those
   specific
      frameworks, but I couldn't be entirely sure. We have integration
   needs
      in a
      few proprietary interfaces also, so a general capacity to learn new
      interfaces quickly is a priority for us.  I'll get our job
   descriptions
      and
      forward them to you.  Additionally, we do our risk analytics in
      Mathematica
      (for the time being), but we have a full team.  If you son's work
   took
      him
      into Mathematica as a framework for crypto, I would be interested in
   his
      ability to interface Java and mathematica.  We find few people who
   know
      how
      to do this right.  I also know one of the key storage system
   designers
      at
      IBM in San Jose.  (He was a key inventor in IBM's CompactFlash micro
      hard
      drive.)  Your son's prior work in storage systems may be relevant to
      him.

      Can you meet for dinner Monday or Wednesday night in Boston?

      Bill,

      Yes, I am coming to Boston.
      Look forward to meeting you there.
      My son has not made any decision yet.
      I am enclosing his resume: please, let
      me know what you think.

      Vince

         Hi Vince -
         I wanted to check on a couple of items following our discussions
      earlier
         this year: 1) has your son decided where he will work? and 2) will
      you
         be in
         Boston for the Risk 2001 conference?
         Development is moving along at a good pace here at Opt4.
         Best regards,
         Bill Balson
