Clyde Fernstein. Clyde was even in the punch card system (I volunteered
to help them with the Electronic Accounting.
Today, I use Clyde as the ultimate volunteer. He always volunteers
first for everything. It is supprizing, when there is a name on a list
that people will sign up for activities, etc. Just as long as they
do not have to be first.

P.S. We also use Clyde to call for information on prices (cars,
insurance, any where there is a pushy salesman), we give out Clyde's
name so we do not have to fend them off later. (We do tell them that
we will contact them - but they do not listen -- so they have to talk
to Clyde. SAM
