I think this is a big net positive....I feel quite certain it is and it seems the team at EDIG does as well. How do you suppose they know Will and he knows us? Consider that he is coming to us from Northrop Guumman. Remember the opportunities developing a platform for the military? Those opportunities still exist and have very likely been enhanced. This man is very familliar with EDIG. He starts work Nov. 15. Atul is persuing personal interests in India and England. I had a call into Putnam a few days ago and he called me this morning at 10:30 EST. At that point I hadn`t known about the announcement so he told me about it. From an enthusiam point of view I`d say they are very excited about Will.
