Can you say who you are talking with?  I think you would find that CRA is an
organization that would suit you well. Would it be inappropriate to have
discussion along those lines?

    Have you considered joining a consultancy?

   Bill,

   Lacima is relatively small, but they have two very competent
   and experienced principals: Chris Strickland and Les Clewlow.

   I am looking right now at a number of options. Hopefully, I shall
make a
   decision
   within a few weeks.

   Vince

       Have you developed plans?  I'd be interested in your evaluation
of
      Lakima
      Group, whom I believe you've worked with.  How big are they?

         Hi Vince -
         Its very sad to see what has happened.  I hope you are doing OK
   under
         the
         circumstances.  I wanted also to let you know that I'm
   transitioning
      to
         an
         advisory role at Opt4  since they are now in a more operational
   mode,
         rather
         than developmental.  I've joined Charles River Associates in
the
   Palo
         Alto
         office. What are your plans for the future?  I would like to
   extend
      an
         invitation to get to know us better, and perhaps to collaborate
if
      our
         interests coincide.  When do you get back from vacation?


         Bill Balson
         Vice President
