On my Governor training in Interlaken '78 we took the group photo and then some of the group participants wanted to "jazz it up". So the placed little brass pins in everybody's lapels in the photo (they looked like flowers) and wired up the photo to a list of names in the photo. They attached a wired pen to the frame so when you touched the lapel of someone in the photo a light would turn-on next to their name. When we presented the photo to MMY in Seelisberg at the end of the course, he thought it was pretty cool. > > snip > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
