I hated those ducks. I guess I just have it in for waterfowl. Sam, We trained a lot of students at FSI who were sent there from DLI in Monterey. I always hoped we could work something out where systems people from both schools could do an exchange and I could make a trip to CA. It never panned out. Oh well. Brett,

We trained a lot of students at FSI who were sent there from DLI in Monterey. I always hoped we could work something out where systems people from both schools could do an exchange and I could make a trip to CA. It never panned out. Oh well.

I guess it's because I kept on forgetting to sign out of TSYS that I missed the fun events like seagulls swallowing baby ducks whole. I always missed the good stuff at AT&T.

Remember that time we watched the sea gull swallow the baby duck whole? That was awesome. If I recall correctly, you felt the same way about the ducks at AT&T back in the day.

Good luck in your new vocation, I'm sure you will do well! It does look lovely, and it reminds me of the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, which I attended in 1974-1975.

FSI is the Foreign Service Institute. It is where the State Department trains all of its employees in the languages and other skills they will need as they represent the United States throughout the world. Sorry about that.
