Vince,    I told Corwin I would forward this to you in case Enron has any interest in getting involved.

 Speaking of California
- UC Berkeley is talking to us to help them run a continuing education
course on some of the power industry issues.  Would you or anyone from Enron
be interested in teaching part of it?

Ralph:

1.  As soon as feasible (fall?)

2.  Houston is fine.  We regularly run semiconductor courses in Texas.
We'll book a hotel.  A possibility would be an SF and Houston presentation,
say a week apart (or two).

Pls let me know.  I'd be delighted to visit and discuss this if you'd like.

Cheers,

Dick

Richard, glad you found me.

Caminus (hit our web site, caminus.com) does software and consulting for
energy trading and risk management.  Given that the California utilities
were forbidden to buy forward, much less hedge, etc., and now the state has
to buy forward and hedge without much experience, we have been thinking that

they need help big time.

A special course on energy trading and risk management, especially if it
emphasized the perspective of the side that has to fulfill retail load,
might be very timely.

We could put together a good course and get a couple of non-Caminus speakers

in as well.

What time frame would you be thinking about?   PS - an alternate location
that is in many ways preferable could be Houston, much of the industry is
there

Hi Ralph,

Assuming this got through the rolling "brown-outs" greetings.

Since Felix retired and George moved to Illinois, we haven't done any
power-related courses at UC Extension with the exception of that one course
on deregulation a few years ago.

Given the serious energy problems around here, do you think it might be time

for a course on the issues?  I'd be delighted to discuss this if you do.

Best regards,



Dick Tsina
