<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">By the way – we neglected to discuss an economist. There was no consensus in our last email discussion. Ted Jones, who will be retiring, is probably a good choice, albeit
very familiar to everyone. But, no fee involved.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Do we want to contact the 4 names I mention in my last email ((Ted Jones, Skylar Olson – Zillow, Mathew Gardner – Seattle Times & pricy, Brian Kelly – Seattle U)), and do
we have a volunteer who can do that? I suspect most involve a fee. Since the economy is on everyone’s mind, I think this topic is important and timely. It might be worth paying for this. I’d say $1,000-$2,000 but we should discuss. (I think Matthew Gardener
is more than that by a lot.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
