Will call.

I am serious about something along the lines of my email, although I can Ht see myself working for, or reporting tom anyone else in any way.

Do you remember when we first met, your idea was that all your friends were=swimming in $$ and would welcome opportunities to do interesting things in=science. In the end, most of them want only to be in each other's comp=ny ir, more lately, alone on their private islands, their space capsules, =r in their private genetically-altered gene pool. The reason the master cl=sses and the billionaires' dinners worked was because the billionaires=could not afford NOT to be there.

In any event, I could see 10% of Brockman, Inc. for $10M, or possibly a maj=r commitment to an endowment for the nonprofit EDGE. With you, of course, =utting together a deal.

About to drive down to work. Will call in a few minutes.
