clothing

[Farrell]

Unfortunately, I guess many folks do the judgement thing, and part of that may well depend on what you wear. I think it is unfortunate.

When I go to a class at a convention given by Willis Snyder (and that is NOT a suit - THAT is a tuxedo he wears!), I see Willis in his black tux, and I think to myself (also while considering his experience and wisdom and generosity to teach the class) "what a cool dude - this guy is first class - I like him. And then I go to a class on bridge notching given by Ron Nossman and I see Ron in his blue jeans and tee-shirt, and I think to myself (also while considering his experience and wisdom and generosity to teach the class) "what a cool dude - this guy is first class - I like him.

I dunno, maybe I'm just missing something.
