I am glad to hear that Shane Green is working there and doing so well.? Please give him my regards.? Let's plan on having you speak for our Gamma Iota Sigma dinner on the evening of 2/23.? It is my understanding that you are going to be in town anyway for John Martin's "new economy" seminar.? Will you be needing a hotel accommodation for that evening?? If so, please let me know and I will have my secretary arrange accommodations for you. Concerning class presentations, I am curious when whether we can try to arrange a date.? I am teaching two undergraduate sections of a business risk management course from 11-12:20 and 12:30-1:50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays this spring.?? I also am teaching a graduate version of the same course from 3:30-4:50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but when you come I will probably have you speak to the undergraduate classes and have my graduate students attend either of those sessions.? The spring semester starts January 9 and ends May 1, and the following dates are already taken for other speakers, exams, or spring break: Thursday, February 15 - Midterm exam 1 Tuesday, March 6 and Thursday, March 8 - no class (spring break) Thursday, March 15 - presentation on risk adjusted discount rate methodologies by Dr. Richard Derrig, Automobile Insurers Bureau of Massachusetts Tuesday, April 3 - Midterm exam 2 Please let me know at your earliest convenience when you would like to schedule a presentation.? Considering the fact that the presentation would be scheduled for around the middle of the day, it would probably be technically possible for you to make your visit into a day trip (back and forth from Houston) in case if you are pressed for time.? Continental flies here from Houston, but unfortunately the morning flight doesn't come in until 10:45 a.m., which would be too late for a presentation to the 11 a.m. class. Thanks again, Jim At 01:57 PM 12/12/2000 -0600, Vince.J.Kaminski@enron.com wrote: Jim, Sorry for the delay in responding to your message. I was traveling extensively and was overwhelmed with many different projects. I shall be glad to speak at the Gamma Iota Sigma dinner. Unfortunately, cannot make a presentation to your class (it would require leaving the office for two days in a row). I can, however, promise to come on another day and speak to your students. I hope everything is going well for you. By the way, your former student, Shane Green, has joined us for 12 month and is doing exceptionally well. Vince Jim Garven on 11/28/2000 05:10:55 PM To:?? "Vince J Kaminski" cc: Subject:? Greetings from Baylor University Dear Vince, Since we last corresponded, I have left LSU and am now Professor of Finance & Insurance at Baylor University in Waco, TX.? My colleague at Baylor, John Martin, mentioned that you will be coming to campus for a conference on Friday, February 23 that he is organizing.?? I am curious whether your schedule might permit staying over that evening so that we can feature you as our dinner speaker for the chartering ceremony of Gamma Iota Sigma, national risk management fraternity.? For that matter, would you also possibly be available to make any presentations to undergraduate and graduate students on the previous day (Thursday, February 22)?? What I have in mind is a presentation similar to the presentations you made last spring to my LSU classes. Thank you for your consideration of this request.? I am looking forward to seeing you once again. Sincerely, Jim Garven _________________________________________ James R.
