Greetings Interstate Travelers! Amazingly another 365 days has passed and we now are on the threshold of the year 2010, a year that will see the first demonstration system of the HyRail, and in the first quarter will very likely see the completion of our first commercial build contract for the HyRail that will be launched in Jakarta Indonesia. As with every year, we have seen incredible growth and now that our Partnership has exceeded 180 Partners, we have within our company an amazing collection of talented and successful people from all walks of life. From FAA Airline Safety Experts, to Systems Integration Specialists from NASA, to International Security organizations that routine protect VIP in places such as Iraq and even have a fresh group of young engineers from Ferris State University to compliment the seasoned and salty bunch that have been building automotive production line equipment for decades that are now working on our production systems. With the help of all the Partners and the daily assistance of several dozen Lead Partners we have been able to keep the HyRail moving forward internationally and in Washington DC where the world is turned. Myself and Lead Partners Corbett Kroehler, Jim Griffin and others have kept a finger on the pulse DC and have enabled dozens of high profile meetings with Congressman, Senators, Department of Commerce officials, Department of State officials, US Trade Development Agency officials, US Consulate General Officials, and US Department of Defense, Energy and Interior as well. I wish there was enough room in this letter to write out the full taxonomy of relationships, but that would be too much, yet I will focus on a couple key players and how they came to be a Partner in the Interstate Traveler Company. 1. While visiting with Partner Andre Sauvageot who is our lead representative in Vietnam, that was introduced to our company by Partner Ken Howard, I met Partner Tahir Hassan who brougth in Partner Nazma Ahmed to represents us in Pakistan and is helping to engage other countries including several in West Africa like Mali. 2. While Visiting with Partner Jim Griffin I was introduced to Partner Bill Powell who has brought in several Partners such as Andre Murdza aka the Oyster King of Maryland, and others perhaps most importantly new contacts with the President of Peru. 3. While visiting with Corbett in Florida we met Manny Oceans who now resides in California who has made high level connections with the Schwarzenegger administration, and also in China 4. While visiting a local church my Dad met with Andrew Conte whom has made high level introductions in Qatar, Bahrain and now with Berkshire Hathaway. 5. While visiting with Partner Ray Fullerton we have met many new key players including Prestige Engineering, and others 6. While working with Partner Lewis Magee, we have brought in several new Partners and existing Partners from Lewis we key to solving some financial needs this year that were more critical than I care to explain and we all need to be grateful for such timely help. 7. While working with Partner and Director of Government Relations Connie Cole we have made great strides in Lansing, and have gain one of our most recent and exceptional Partners Mr. Frank Taylor. 8. While working with Partner Ryan Steffens of Grand Rapids we have gained significant ground in the Grand Rapids are of Michigan including close to a dozen skilled engineering and 3D design students at Ferris State University 9. While working with Partner Ron Moyer who is our Chief Safety Officer we have brought in several more Safety professionals and have established relationships with some of the worlds most experience international security professionals to protect our teams of people when they venture outside of the USA. 10. While working with Partner Jay Wilber we have established a new team of leading automotive contractors under good contract terms to build our demonstration system and to design and build our fabrication equipment to mass produce the rail. One of the greatest highlights of 2009 can be focused on the work of State Representative Bill Rogers District 66 Michigan, who (against all odds) managed to establish a bi-partisan Task Force in the House and Senate of the State of Michigan and successfully executed four public hearings around the State that were hugely successful with testimony submitted in favor of our work by engineers, university professors, business professionals and even a government official from Windsor! The report from the Task Force has been held back by the Speaker of the House until January 2010. As the Founder and Managing Partner, I extend to you my full measure of gratitude for your part in building and sustaining this company no matter how large or how small. Yet I must ask each of you to help me build a broader and more contextual historic record of our Partnership by authoring and sending to me an original signed single-page letter addressed to me that explains how you were introduced to the company, a little bit about yourself and your vision for the future. Many of the Partners have been able to keep up via email we do not have a good email for all the Partners, so please take a few minutes to send a letter to me with your updated contact information. |
