Thanks Paula for your timely write-up on our Walnut Creek activities.

The Smith Barney office in San Jose is located as indicated below:

David Perez
River Park Towers
333 West San Carlos, #900
San Jose, CA 95110
(408) 947-2200
FAX: (408) 947-2208
Operations Mgr. Aileen Braga

On item #11-b (Where is it best -- moneywise -- to keep the $5000?) I'll plan to
check that out when I take the signed client agreements. (Which I will plan to do
as soon after I get Claire's as possible.)

    Also, I will plan to clarify the issue re: taking Howard off the signature
list. And, clarifying the issue about having all signatures able to withdraw
funds, but only needing one (?) signature to do so. (The person we talked to in
Walnut Creek thought that if all person's signatures could withdraw funds, then
all persons needed to sign every withdrawl request.)

In item #4 it mentions Claire and Arthur, but not Paula. Seems to me Paula's
elevation to  Chairperson should be included.

Arthur
