Sam - I, for one, think your report is encouraging -- 20,000employee! When you can talk that long with Adam that, in itself, is encouraging. Encouraging enough to keep my "hat in the ring" If you were like me with Brian, he probably left you in neutral as to the odds of making it.
Glad you "invited him to the FASCeestacelebration party. Soon!" If he came up with a 15 unit French order, I imagine the drinks would be on Sam. - Dave
