1.I believe I have heard you , but i wanted to make certain that I have understood
Though after much discussion ,- much! you were adamant that i receive my fee only at the very END of my
work, oct 15 , this was a long discussion but you felt very strongly at the time . you now feel that as it was
a very large sum of money . some of my time this year should be spent on your recent concept of "after care
". - and that after care should be for free . I have continued to pay others as well.
I have asked and you have previously said you would lay out for me what you thought was encompassed by
the concept. that was end of january Training brad?? who was your choice . not mine ,by a long shot. only
brought on in january? ? hundreds of hours spent . eileen debrief? 2. boat. plane
household ex[penses. personal review? , trying to create accurate ledgers of capital expenses . so to minimize
future gain.? 3. phaidon - review from head to toe? though we agreed many times in the past this was not
my responsbility, 4. overseeing the opening of trading accts. proposed and sent over first docs in april of
