Question
Phil:  

This is Dan Opperman.  We met at the UNM law school several years ago and you helped me get in touch with Rick Schlesinger of the Angels, where I did an internship.  After practicing law for 5 years, I was offered a position at Wachovia Securities as a financial advisor.  Would love to catch up with you some time.  Hope all is well.

Answer
Dan!

Best,

Phil
