[techtalk] career/family question

[Davida Schiff]

Karl,

It is all true. I was #8 in the lottery that no one wanted to win .My name
was listed as David A versus Davida. It was one big pain. BTW...while in
college when all my girl-friends were burning their bras (1972) I burnt my
draft notice. Lol

Davida
