Strictly in the interest of academic specificity, accuracy, and peer review 
principles...........................Until the presentation was physically 
made to Dr. Coleman no one spoke to him. Being the Gentleman that he is, he 
is probably assuming that someone did, knowing that to do otherwise would 
have been the height of arrogance on the intrudees part.
 What actually happened was.......... the presenter established his own 
bonafides to the class and welcome guests (the place was packed y'all:) and 
then launched straight into the presentation. Not a word was spoken to Doctor 
Coleman who was dumbstruck that this thingee was happening at all, much less 
during his class.

  Now that Jim Coleman Sr. is "officially" the recipient of an "official" 
PHD, actually a PTD, he may no longer disemble on this list or any other 
venue within PTG as to 'only' holding a BS degree.  Therefore while use of 
the title of 'Doctor' is by no means mandantory it is suitable and very well 
deserved for any occasion that any member of PTG or this list may desire to 
use it.
