dsandbro Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I am listed in one of those mail-order Who's Who books. The kind where they list you in hope you buy one of their overpriced tomes. Other than that, about 15 years ago several people mentioned that I looked a lot like one of the '10 most wanted' on the post office wall. ======================================== "The time has come" the Walrus said "to speak of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and Kings".
