Golden Slacks and What Bank? (WB)

GS seems to only have a few offces around the country. The web page lists a few
in major cities and have never seen one.

However, A.G. Edwards is all over the place. In the three small towns I have
lived in the North East has each had an office. But, no actual Wachovia Bank.

With GS do you think they need or want more market penetration with more sites?
IN today's market, speed is of the essence and it is quicker to acquire than it
is to build from scratch.

GS may not have been interested in WB deposits with the attached risk. But,
would they be interested in the infrastructure, currently run my an alum? In
addi\tion, WB owns a lot of C stock that will benefit from upside in the banking
sector.
