Kip , I wanted to share a Jamiel story . I am sure you remember he was a retired Colonel from the military and served I believe as a Chief of Staff to a General . Shortly after the Ventura merger I scheduled a trip to Atlanta to meet the team . For many years I had stayed at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead you may remember that was next door to Robinson Humphrey and where they held all there investor conferences. On finding out that I was coming to Atlanta Jamiel called Bernice (my assistant) and announced he was taking over all the arrangements for the trip . He said he had a hotel down the street from the Ritz just as nice and better rates . You can imagine he must have been very persuasive to get B to give up the rains .

On my arrival in Atlanta was picked by the Colonel’s driver driven to the hotel shown to the penthouse suite and then driven to Colonel’s favorite restaurant Bone’s and before the dinner ended he talked me into going forward he would manage our annual Masters Golf outing . After dinner I remember saying “ Yes Sir anything else Colonel Sir “. Great Guy
