Eric,

Thank you for your  email.    During the week of January 3rd - 7th, I am
only in the office on January 3rd.  I am available the following week
(mornings are most flexible)   and would prefer to be in the meeting
with Arlene.  Enjoy the Holidays.

Marvin

Thanks, Marvin.  This is very helpful.   Hunter has shared some of this
information with me as well.

One thing that I think would be very worthwhile is that the appropriate
people from Guardian have the opportunity to meet our partner, Arlene
Busch. (I don't know if that is you, Tony, Brian or some combination of
the three of you.)  As you know,  Arlene leads the work we do for our
Fund clients and has a good group of contacts that might be good fits
for Guardian beyond the list of people you have already talked to.  She
was unfortunately traveling in Asia for the past couple of weeks but is
back in the U.S. and would be able to meet the first week in January.

Let me know what makes sense on your end.   I think she's available on
the 5th or 6th, but if those dates don't work, I am sure she can work
around your schedule.

In the meantime, we have reached out to Rob McCord's office but I don't
expect that we'll hear anything from them until next week. 

We also have some calls in regarding the Ben Franklin Room and some of
the Embassy options for your annual dinner.

Let us know if you have any questions and what works best to get
together with Arlene.

In the meantime, I hope you have a great Holiday as well.  

Best,

Eric

Eric,

For your information, some  investors  use consultants.  The biggest one
in the United States  is the Townsend Group (Guardian was rated a level
4 which is Townsend's highest rating)   Additional consultants include
Cambridge, NEPC (New England Pension Consultants) and Courtland
Partners.  Investors like Guardian's  niche strategy and experienced
management team.  Issues that sometimes come up are that the  fund is
too small ($200 M and biggest investment can be $50 M) and that Guardian
only invests in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area ( over 400 M sq ft
in 4000 plus office buildings in the best office market  in the United
States but it  is not always considered geographically diverse.  We have
very strong references including The MacArthur Foundation (Tim Hoeppner
and Sharon Nikonchuk),  BlackRock (Eugene McDonald), Aviva Investor,
North America (Ed Bates), Rasmussen Foundation (Adam Gibbons) Santa
Barbara Cottage Hospital (Michael Bunn), Texas Children's Hospital
(Howard Harpster).  Howard ( previously  managed British Petroleum funds
in the US) invested with Guardian in Fund II when he was (CIO) Oxford
Financial  Group.
