Last evening, Michael Ianbinet, Peter Denitz and I attended the O'malley event in Wilmington Delaware.  It was a positive occurrence and we received a fair amount of direct face and conversation time with key individuals.

The event was at a private home and I estimate no more than 40 people attended if that.
Governor O'Malley approached us and referenced our recent phone conversation. We talked about HNTB and the project in general. Peter Denitz and Michael engaged extensively his Chief of staff and other follow up meetings are being set up with other persons.  Business cards were exchanged.

Governor Markell from Delaware engaged us as well and when we mentioned Yassmin, he knew who we were and he also mentioned Roger. The conversation was positive and he engaged Peter Denitz about our work in his state.

Senator Carper, who holds a number of key positions in the Senate and is the current Chairman of the board of Amtrak also spent personal time with us. We talked about Amtrak, and HSR.  When we mentioned the Baltimore tunnel he became enthusiastic and said hold on and he went to bring over another person over to us who runs a 1/3 rd of his district and asked us to brief her on the tunnel project and its importance.

It was a very worthwhile event, we were given individuals attention by the key individuals mentioned and we were also thanked several time for our support.
