ed my plans to attend the convention. Your<BR>class was the whole reason for=
going. When they put the (E) for everyone<BR>I thought "now's my chan=
ce". To be privy to such high learning has<BR>always been my dream and this =
typo was my foot in the door!<BR><BR>When will such a an opportunity come my=
way again? It's not easy, I say,<BR>for someone with my a low level of educ=
ation to slip into an advanced<BR>class at the "Once in Life Time - Big Deal=
" convention. No, not at all.<BR>Those hall monitors - or whatever you call =
them - are mighty tough, and<BR>nasty too I might add. One time, while tryin=
g to sneak into a high level<BR>class on plastic elbow freezing, they demand=
ed to check my credentials.<BR>Sweating and shaking I did all I could do; I =
flashed the little PRT pin<BR>I bought at that convention were everyone got =
sick as a dog from the<BR>hotel food.<BR><BR>"Hell, its Hartman again," Said=
the big one with the trendy keyboard bow <BR>tie.<BR><BR>"I seen him before=
tryin to get into that class on the secrets of the<BR>super glues. When are=
you going to learn, ha?" Said the short one with<BR>the few hairs shy of a =
true Trump comb-over.<BR><BR>"What do ya say Dan? I bet this guy doesn't kno=
w the difference between <BR>a longitudinal wave and one of them transverse =
thingies?"<BR><BR>"Hey just a minute guys," in my mind I was making a fast r=
etreat back to<BR>the safe haven of the exhibit hall," I was just stopping t=
o tie my shoe."<BR><BR>"Yea right, I don't see no 'A' after that RPT just a =
measly 'E'."<BR><BR>I will stop this account at this point. All I can say is=
that what<BR>followed was not nice, neat or even sanitary. Till this day I =
haven't <BR>found the nerve to crack the lid on spinet and the scent of freo=
n gas <BR>makes me queasy.<BR><BR>So this summer instead of attending the "B=
ig Cheese" I will be hitting<BR>the books. I plan on finding out about the m=
oment of inertia and the<BR>bending moments in beams. After all, I have just=
a moment learn. I<BR>better bone up on all that Latin and Greek talk so I c=
an poly voo such<BR>terms at transverse and distal. Well wait a minute, firs=
t I need to <BR>learn to read. That's going to be way hard!</FONT></BLOCKQUO=
