Karen, do you remember when the group that met for lunch
at noon in the north Dallas area called themselves "the
Association of Independent Documentation Specialists"? One
of the group had himself listed as a founding officer of
"the Association of Independent Documentation Specialists"
in his resume. I laughed when I saw it and later my Manager
asked me what the group was for.
