Thank you, Rex, for your reply and for your offer of contacts, etc. I am
sure these will be productive and I was pleasantly suprised to hear about
your current assignment.

As I am in the midst of preparing materials related to my project, and am
not shopping it/assembling mgmt team for another month or two, it will be
more time yet until I can take you up on your offer.

I was delighted to receive your reply.

Derek
