David presented me with a document specifying UTM’s obligation to me for $110,000. This is my outstanding deferred compensation from UTM. He also mentioned the possibility of converting this sum into UTM stock. That might be userful. I need to follow up on that.
He also said that it had been agreed by Seth and Cameron Melville that I would take over management of the company in the event of David’s death (or presumably his incapacitation) His kidney transplant may occur within a month or so. He is getting weaker. Reported having to go home by 2 pm to take a nap.
