From: Ken_Spong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jenny, you are being too kind to Keith.
Henry Ford is cited as the man who knew very little about a lot, but knew where to get the information from. What has to be realised is that while knowledge is power, power means nothing without the means to use it ( ie. a light is not useful without the switch being turned on). That means is derived through the rigors of academic training and discipline, and personal application. Which brings me back to the matter of further education to provide each of us with the tools to move forward into role extension. How are the dinosaurs, today?
