Just in Case * Managed a Trading group that is up 2 Billion (more if you included hits taken) - probably not due to me. * Left a lot of money in Canada - some is still there. * Led the PPA deal - which I will resign and buy personally if you want to turn it back. * Created the Gas Fundamentals Group which every business unit is copying. * Came up with LTP which everybody hates but will fix our trader shortage in the future and every company is copying. * Trained many great young kids in Calgary that are now key players in Houston. * Created structure and communication around our system strategy - brought traders, IT, and back office together to create a plan that everyone has bought into. The future success is unclear but the exercise was very worthwhile. * Had very few VAR violations and helped improve our understanding and reporting of VAR. Completed mended the relationship between gas trading and the risk group. * Should get most credit for the increase in power trades on EOL and the continuation of the increase in Gas. * Turned the East Power group into a focused trading group not a think tank that bets on July-Aug power price - Still nowhere near completion. * Put a halt on the hiring of unqualified people - Have spent many hours devising a plan to bring in qualified - experience people. You will see this implemented in 2001. * Experimented with the "Pay PRC" which I think was very successful. I think this will start our organization to think a little differently and hopefully in a way that will benefit us. * Possibly the best accomplishment is "Killing the Dragon". I'm glad you made me write this list down because for the first time in months I realized that I was smiling while I was writing. Regards John
