Crap, I know Sean.

Thanks for the clarification. I am going to call Eric and ask him to
verbally pass on a game plan.

All my best

Subject: Re: NYC Fire Dept Pension Fund

CHUCK--
The "Comptroller is the CUSTODIAN and INVESTMENT ADVISOR to the Boards of
the five Pension Funds."... "each pension fund is financially independent
and has its own board of trustees." The Mayor and the Comptroller sit on
the Board of Trustees along with ten other Members including Steve, the
fire Commissioner--- the rest are all fire dept officials and one outside
labor member (Sean O'Connor of the Uniformed Pilots and Marine Engineers).
Bottom line is Steve is our guy and we should go through him.
