070801 - Follow up ref SDS 13 2J5F, ref SDS 12 0000.
070802 -
070803 - Received a letter from Jerry saying....

070805 - 1. Subject: Need to confirm this jpg
070806 - Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 16:05:39 -0500
070807 - From: "Nord, Jerry"
070808 - To: "Rod Welch (E-mail)"
070810 - ..
070811 - 2. Tom ran across this while loading SDS (see attachment).
070813 - ..
070814 - located at: F:\04\00067\00\IC ROD.JPG
070816 - ..
070817 - Research shows that this is the Com Metrics website directory.
070819 - ..
070820 - I found this file, and the picture looks like some folks in KKK garb
070821 - or headed for a wild Halloween party. Never saw it before and it has
070822 - nothing to do with anything so deleted it.
070824 - ..
070825 - Also found two Powerpoint files....

070827 - f: 04 00067 00 ic cm.ppt
070828 - f: 04 00067 00 ic rodx.ppt
070830 - ..
070831 - Review shows the first one, cm.ppt, is quite sophisticated, and seems
070832 - more comprehensive than the presentation we have on the web...

070834 - http://www.welchco.com/03/00050/01/09/01/17/HTML/00104_files/frame.htm
070836 - ..
070837 - The second powerpoint presentation only has a few slides, but one of
070838 - them is the concept Morris mapped out at Burger King when we visited
070839 - at his place on 950303. ref SDS 8 M34O
070841 - ..
070842 - Since the name of this second powerpoint file is rodx.ppt, possibly
070843 - Morris found a dumb picture on the Internet when looking for graphics
070844 - to create the powerpoint files, and called it rod.jpg as a joke or
070845 - something.
070847 - ..
070848 - Jerry continues...
070849 -
070850 - 3. He reacted rather negatively to this and said until it is
070851 - explained he'd prefer not to work on SDS. Not sure if that's
070852 - the problem of if there is more. I will talk with him tomorrow
070853 - morning since he has left for the day. I may try to reach you
070854 - this evening, but definitely will talk with you after 7:00 a.m,
070855 - your time, tomorrow.
070857 - ..
070858 - 4. JerryN
070860 - ..
070861 - Called and left a message advising have never seen this picture, per
070862 - above. ref SDS 0 0O6J
070864 - ..
070865 - Called Morris.
070867 - ..
070868 - Morris recalls working on Powerpoint stuff years ago. The date of the
070869 - jpg file, reported by Jerry, per above, ref SDS 0 0O6J, and the date
070870 - of the Powerpoint file, cm.ppt, are the same, 980628. The date of
070871 - rodx.ppt is 980406, so this all occurred about the same time. I
070872 - visited Morris on 980405. The record for that meeting shows Morris
070873 - began a powerpoint file. ref SDS 9 0001 Probably completed it the
070874 - next day and submitted via the Internet in a zip file. Interestingly,
070875 - there was another meeting with Morris on 980628, the same date as the
070876 - suspect file, and that meeting concerned the website for Com Metrics,
070877 - which is where Tom found the jpg file. reported today, per above.
070878 - ref SDS 10 0001 The record on 980628 says in part....
070879 -
070880 - Morris feels the [Welch] web site should connote class.
070881 -
070882 - ..., but there is no mention of rod.jpg. ref SDS 10 7425 Looks like
070883 - some graphics were downloaded from the Internet at that time for the
070884 - Powerpoint presentation and for the website. ref SDS 10 S67H
070886 - ..
070887 - There is an inference that Morris downloaded a file and called it
070888 - rod.jpg to illustrate the antithesis of "class," that underscores a
070889 - history of mixed feelings about Rod, SDS and Com Metrics. Compare...
070890 -
070891 - SDS unnecessary overkill.............. 890809, ref SDS 1 6V66
070892 - Morris starts using SDS, helpful...... 910520, ref SDS 2 655O
070893 - SDS enables good management........... 911123, ref SDS 3 4930
070894 - Morris quits SDS, counterintuitive.... 920215, ref SDS 4 5820

070914 - ..
070915 - 2. Morris,
070917 - ..
070918 - 3. Per our telecon, as I mentioned Jerry Nord at CSG wrote a
070919 - letter today reporting a colleague at CSG working on SDS came
070920 - across a picture with the filename rod.jpg and shows a bunch of
070921 - guys that look like KKK types or possibly avid Halloweeners.
070922 - ref SDS 0 0O6J
070924 - ..
070925 - 4. Turns out this is in the Com Metrics directory set. ref SDS 0
070926 - XS7I
070928 - ..
070929 - 5. As we discussed this directory, also, has some powerpoint files
070930 - which I, also, don't recall ever seeing. One of them in
070931 - particular seems very good and the other one is shorter, less
070932 - polished, but has the image you developed at Burger King on
070933 - 950303 to illustrate the alignment issue for keeping projects
070934 - on target. ref SDS 0 XP8O
070936 - ..
070937 - 6. Please take a look and see if these power point things look
070938 - familiar. Maybe you did them and sent them to me with the
070939 - rod.jpg thing as a joke. The files are zipped and attached.
070941 - ..
070942 - 7. I kind of thought maybe you did these for a presentation at
070943 - Chips or Intel, and just never told me about them, but that is
070944 - probably too big a reach.
070946 - ..
070947 - 8. Thanks.
