Wanda to Elliott
It's always wonderful to hear from you. Everyone here is just fine. Nicole just moved up to Playa del Rey and Ryan is 1/2 way done with law school! Hard to believe, remember when all our kids where still running around?
BI certainly is different now. If I wasn't so close to retirement and have so many years vested here, I wouldn't still be here. they just did away with service awards, so no more thank you gifts for f,10,15,20,25, etc years of service. They are now calling it a recognition award, which to be is who can play the game the best. Oh, well, it is what it is. I am very glad I am calling on Kaiser though. We are a little bit more insulated because of our sales volume and the fact that not just anyone can get in those accounts and move sales! bob Johnson mentioned at the last meeting that going forward they will be hiring contracted sales people to fill openings in the primary care sales force and only specialty and institutional positions will be filled with current BI people. Although these PC reps will be "Inventiv" employees, they will report to a BI manager. It kind of shows the direction this company is taking. It seems to me that relationships are out the door and no longer looked at as relevant to the job.
That is really exciting news about your vineyards and your books. You must be so proud and having a great time doing something you love.
Hopefully, we will be able to have a reunion of some kind this year. It would be wonderful to see everyone.
Take care and give my regards to Donna,

Elliott and Amy meet in Paris
Elliott and I had a great chance to catch up in Paris, when he received a Gourmand Award- top 100 food or wine books in the world. I usually go to Paris in February to visit my artist friend Anja, as the prices are low. Elliott and I had a great time as I attended the Gourmand Awards with Anja and again later in the week Elliott, my son Jimmy and I went to Anja's house to see her art. On our way home from Anja's we stumbled upon a sing-along in a pub, which was pure magic.
