Re: Change of Venue - My New Position

I think that that list would be interested in hearing a little more about 
the position and what you'll be doing for Caterpillar.  I think that the 
subscribers to this list, much more than most lawyers, realize that 
there are monumental changes that can be effected in the way that 
legal services are delivered, increasing efficiency and decreasing 
costs dramatically.

In any event, good luck on this next adventure.
