The J.Edward was born 'n bred in Houston as both his parents are in oil and gas exploration. After two years at a college in the Pacific NW (hence all my comments about PDX) I decided to transfer back down to University of Houston. I'm finishing my undergrad at UH (Finance and Philosophy) as well as my graduate studies (joint MBA/JD program).

I currently work evenings as a Host at Carrabba's in West Houston as well as helping my parents with their line of work (geophysics). Personally, I am very interested in the airline industry (always have been since my days as a wee one) and am hoping that I can provide a good case for Continental to start an undergrad intern program. Hey, it’s clean, cheap and reliable labor!

I discovered my fondness for traveling when my father use to take me on his business trips and have always jumped at any opportunity to go places. I’m pretty easy to spot in the travel domain as I always carry my 8 x 10 quilt that grandmother gave me when I was born. (The FA’s always ask me ‘where’s the kid’) Also, people tell me I have very blue eyes… not quite sure what that one is about.

Anyway, that’s about it for the J.Edward. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I’m going to swing by Smith Street and drop off a letter commending an excellent FA I recently had (I typically just mail such things in - but this one was really good!) as well as drop off Mom at Hobby. (She has to go up to Oklahoma and would rather take a WN 737 over an ERJ... hmmmmm....)

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you come early April!

Regards,
The J.Edward

PS. If anyone is looking to buy a home that can accommodate horses in the Houston area PM me. Parents are trying to sell one of their homesteads – 3+ acres, pool, barn, raised garden, second garage and quite neighborhood.
