Reply #1: He never heard back?

[gratuitous]

Did he make a follow-up call, or did he just let it go not wanting to bother his boss who was probably super busy? Somehow I'd expect just a tad more initiative from someone who's supposed to be way high up like that. I know that if I, a lowly secretary, don't follow up on everything, someone is going to come around and ask me why I wasn't bird-dogging this task to the nth degree. Surely Mr. Hagee should demonstrate at least that much follow through.
