Back from the ASM.
First of all I want to thank everyone I met for their kind words about my posts. I was overwhelmed by their gratitude.
I especially want to thank Dan (Mahoney1) for transportation and sharing his dinner on Wed night, also
Paul (eb0783) for sharing his dinner too. I also want to thank Robert Jonson and his lovely daughter for
their hospitality and company. A big thanks to North40000 and his wife for my dinner Thursday evening, it was quite good.
I have read Mike's (gandolph120) account of the meeting and agree with everything he said. I am glad someone
was taking notes. I spent the time during the presentation looking at the back of Dr. Garnick's head and
watching the bored board members. Nothing new there, just the usual corporate presentation that Steve King has memorized.
After the Q&A I talked to Dr. Jeff Hutchins the new VP for preclinical development. I was interested in his take
on an idea I had for future uses of bavituximab. He seemed open and interested in my ideas and contributed some thoughts.
I talked to Jay Carlson a few times. I have known Jay for a few years through e-mail and was glad to finally
meet him. He talked to me as a friend and not as the IR guy with an investor. He seemed open and just as
shocked by events as all of us are. My overall impression of the meeting was positive despite the circumstances.
I feel the company was telling us all they could, and wanted to say more, but were constrained by legal and regulatory issues.
However, the best part of the whole experience was meeting the investors who were there from iHub.
It is great to have a face and name to go with their online handles. They have given me motivation to keep posting.
