Alex-

Your Dad called last night. He needed to fill me in on how tough things are for him down in Venezuela and express his feelings over the Sept 4 issues. Your Dad is working in terrible heat and humidity Alex. He is putting in 12 hours per day and working 6 days a week. He is taken by his interpreter from the hotel to the plant and back to the hotel. It is far too dangerous for him to go venturing out alone outside of either of these two places. George has very limited time to email anyone. By the time he has supper each night there is maybe 1-2 hours left for him to get on a computer and then he has to primarily focus on responding to a large amount of work-related emails he has received during the day.

Your Dad said he intends to attend the ceremony on Sept 4. I had told him that I would honor the decision that is right for him. I will pick him up after the ceremony. And if he chooses to go to the dinner I will pick him up after that. I love your Dad enough to honor his choice. And he loves me enough to honor mine. But I need you to know how heartbroken your Dad is over how all of this went down Alex. You will not witness the same joyfulness in your Dad on Sept 4 as you did on Sept 19 1998. A little forethought and respect shown to your Dad prior to his leaving for Venezuela would have made a huge difference in this whole thing.

Your Dad intends to call you on Thursday September 2. He has a 4 1/2 hour layover midday/early afternoon in Atlanta and another 2 hour layover around suppertime in Tennesee that day. He is scheduled to arrive in MSN late that night. You had requested feedback from us in your 8/26 message so it is interesting that you have not responded to my last email to you Alex. You asked for expression of concerns. I gave that to you.

I wish there was time or a place for you and me to meet to sort this out Alex. But that is not going to happen in the next week.My own plate is full: my mother is rapidly deteriorating so precious spare time is spent driving back and forth to Green Bay.
