If you haven't, I'd call John Middleton during normal business hours, M-F. Don't bother calling them after hours or on the weekend. You should ask for a good correspondence address and send them a letter.

Excellent. Trying something is always better than doing nothing. Showing up is half the battle. That has always been my M.O. You'll be able to charm your way through. You have credentials. You are Mayor of PSF and a lot of people are looking forward to the results of your in-depth research. I sincerely doubt people are banging down their door asking about the history of the company. They'll probably be happy to talk to someone who shows an interest. You are doing good work in the field Agent 28.
