00-11-04          0700    Routine weekend morning.  Worked on notes, then on cockpit seat photos. 

            John GARSTANG advised that there is a Fire Committee meeting the week of 00-11-28, and it is planned to include the lawyers and consultants at the same time.  TSB management is also considering a media day for the same time.  John is against it, and in discussing it, I suggested that it would be quite inconsiderate of TSB to raise the subject in the media so close to Christmas.  This is likely the first Christmas since the accident that some of the families will be able to have something near a normal time, and the publicity will certainly spoil it.  Of course, some of the families will still be in turmoil, and nothing will change that.  John later showed me his email to Vic GERDEN on the subject, and he included the comment in his last line.
