IN OCTOBER OF 2004 I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL from a company in East Hampton, New York. The gentleman on the line was Christopher Jarrett, project manager for Cycad Productions, a museum design and exhibit fabrication company based in the Hamptons. He explained that he and Robert Braun, the owner of Cycad, were working on a huge project in China near Tin Shui Wai, a small city in the new territories not far from Hong Kong. It was called Hong Kong Wetland Park. When I asked just how huge was this project he replied, “It’s estimated completion cost is five hundred million dollars.” That’s when I replied, “How can I be of service to you, Mr. Jarrett?”
