Farewell Reception for Greg Gantt
There was a nice farewell reception for Greg Gantt on Monday, January 24 at the Marriott North Hotel in Indianapolis. About 80 people attended the reception which furnished delicious food and drinks.
Greg Gantt had worked ten years at SPRINT, and had resigned last December. Paul Rutowski, the regional manager from Austin, Texas said that Greg was one of the best senior account managers in SPRINT. One time Greg had to go down to Florida for a few weeks to fix a major problem with the Florida state relay service. Ginny Barr, the INTRAC office manager gave Greg a can of WD40 spray, because his desk chair had been squeaking loudly in the past ten years! Jodee Crace was on the INTRAC board before, and she spoke a few words of praise to Greg.
Paul Rutowski and Greg Gantt introduced the new Indiana account manager - Andy Leffner. He is a Deaf man who had been working for SPRINT in North Carolina, and his wife is originally from Indiana. He said that he had many friends in Indiana, and was glad to be back to Indiana.

After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life... but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's wife Tess (Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back - with interest - or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn't the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean's Eleven...
