Good Afternoon Al & Vyktoria I had the pleasure of meetings Michael's assistant Steve Bruchman yesterday on my way home from Texas. I had an opportunity to verbally bring him up to date on aspects of the North South Corridor Low Elevation Commercial Corridor (thru Waneta Boundary Border Crossing) I mentioned to him about the 20 year collaboration that myself and Al French have had and briefed him on his visit to Trail (2 weeks ago). The elected officials Al met and touring Teck Metallurgical operations in Trail (at my request). Thought I would keep you both up to date so you know who I have contacted regarding this project. As well we discussed Al's relationship with the VP of Avista Energy out of Spokane and the possible coop under the Columbia Treaty on adding Vertical power generators to the existing Waneta Dam expansion project. To generate surplus power in order to have surplus power capacity to Northern Colville Region residents. If you have any questions or comments feel free to call me anytime.
