Gov. Mike Easley had some notable lunch dates in 2004.
According to the governor's daily schedules from that year, Easley dined with such notables as then Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake, Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik and former Sen. Lauch Faircloth.
With one exception, the lunches were held on Wednesdays at the Governor's Mansion. (Easley held a lunch with his top staffers on a Tuesday before the holidays.)
The schedules are for planning purposes only, so some of the lunches may have been canceled. They were obtained by Dome after a public records request.
Still, they show an interesting cross-section of North Carolina's power players in business, government and political advocacy.
After the jump, a complete list of the 2004 lunches.
