Dear Mr. Storey Claus,
As a CenturyLink shareholder I'm very relieved that you are now in charge of day to day operations.
I've seen the improvements that you've made at Level 3 (LVLT) since taking over in April of 2013 and watched as the stock price more than doubled over the next two years. However, not everyone is watching as carefully as I am. I spoke on the phone with one pension fund managers just a couple of weeks ago. When I mentioned your management's assurances about the dividend, and my math projecting that it would not be cut, his response was "Oh, really?" He then conceded that he had not looked at the company in almost a year, let alone projected the combined business.
