You're probably one of the few that knows how much truth is in that
comment. Hughes was getting ready to close down the division where I was
working. 6 months later I was a consultant, successfully bidding on
multiple contracts to the same Hughes division. Certainly wasn't my game
plan, but I'll go with what works.

Ever started writing a book of your stories? Jack Canfield (Chicken
Soup) seems to have done pretty well for himself with similar material.
