in California. Franz Weber was also a successful fundraising
organizer for the election campaign of President Barack Obama;
these fundraisers resulted in oversold venues such as at the
San Francisco estate of Ann and Gordon Getty on April 6, 2008.
Franz has been a friend for many years. He has generously produced
fundraising events that I support. It was our pleasure to have him host our
Vail/Bachelor Gulch Spago opening. Franz is a shining star as a social and
skiing host. He has improved my skiing, that of my children and made it a joy
for my wife as a beginner to join in the family fun. Franz knows how to live, 
ove, eat, ski and drink good wine.        — Wolfgang Puck, Celebrity Chef

After suffering an injury, Franz skied downhill with me on his shoulders, and
throughout 20 years I have seen his sincerity, his integrity and his unrelenting
enthusiasm.  He also has a gift of empathizing with his international network
of friends and drawing all into mutually beneficial relations.  I am privileged to
have him as a close friend. - V-Nee Yeh, Member of HongKong SAR Executive
