My family and I live in Saratoga, California and have known Greg and his family for several years, in fact as far back as the 1970's when Greg's wife and my wife were classmates in elementary school.
Greg and his family have been prominent members of our community and schools, and have made many donations of their time, money, and service which have helped in numerous ways, from the funding of school building projects such as the Saratoga High School Performing Arts Center to the commitment of their personal time to many causes.
Professionally I have known Greg as a fellow member of a Board of Directors, and as a fellow executive in the building of Brocade while I also was building Juniper Networks here in Silicon Valley. Greg has been a friend, and an advisor in the many challenging responsibilities of being the CEO of a young and growing company. I have seen his passion for the people who work for him, and his commitment to doing the very best he could to build an outstanding company. I can also personally attest to the burdens of responsibility that come with the office of CEO, and the many demands of others that must be dealt with in a fair and honest way if the company is to succeed. Greg and I have talked about this often, and I have seen him exhibit the utmost respect for his people, his purpose, and the values he believes in, and his standards and his character have been impeccable.
Although I am not at liberty to provide details, I also know of Greg's commitment to this country, and the trust which has been placed in him as an American in service of our country and its defense, as I provided some insights when his confidence and trust were being confirmed by our government.
As perhaps you also know, the Reyes family has been prominent and active members of the Silicon Valley and the high technology community for generations, and have been duly proud of Greg and what he has accomplished. This makes the burdens of the recent proceedings and the implications for Greg and his family even more difficult. The toll it is taking on an outstanding person and his family has been immeasurable, and the pain, even before further consequences are imposed, is unimaginable to those of us who have known him for who he is for so many years.
It is with all these perspectives, and the many ways I have seen Greg help and support so many others that I am writing to ask for your compassion in your upcoming decisions regarding Greg and his family. It seems there is little more harm to be felt beyond the price that has already been paid by Greg, his wife, and his children, in light of all that has happened and the implications of these proceedings.
Nothing can be done to unleash the burden Greg has endured over the last years, and the price that he has already paid in his life. Please consider the fine person that Greg is and will always be in your upcoming deliberations.
Thank you for your consideration.
