THIRD QUARTER 2000 HIGHLIGHTS
You may notice something different about our letterhead. We have
a new name. A highlight of the quarter for us is the addition of
Ray Thompson who purchased an equity partnership in what is now
known as WPNT, or
Wixted•Pope•Nora•Thompson
& Associates
Ray has managed our Houston office since early 1999 and has worked
with many of our existing as well as new clients both in Texas and
around the globe. His twenty years of experience in government and
media relations, strategy and communications training are reflected
in much of the work completed this past quarter.

launch, WPNT conducted Executive Media
Training outside Chicago for half a dozen senior executives of a leading insurer. |

dollar project. |

WPNT's Press Corps, including one bi-lingual member

utility clients in preparation for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's fall drill season. Bay City was the site of a two-day Crisis Communications training program followed
by a drill for the South Texas Project.
Separately, a drill conducted for Alliant Energy's
Duane Arnold Energy Center outside Cedar Rapids was preceded
by a full-day Crisis Communications Training program for plant and off-site personnel. |

In preparation for a national business program,
WPNT provided Executive Media Training to a senior executive of the emerging dot.com arm of an international publisher. The satellite television interview was an effort to build brand awareness with Wall Street, business partners
and consumers. |

Two division presidents of a global energy provider

quarterly earnings conference calls with Wall Street, a publishing

developed by WPNT, more than four dozen principals and staff
