Hi Gary,

What an attitude to have in that profession! Unbelievable...

I guess we can collectively only hope & pray that his graduates didn't get
into designing building sprinkler systems ("...Good for one fire!"), bridges
("...Safe for 1012 crossings---good luck if you're the lucky number one
thousand & 13th"), and airplanes ("Guaranteed for 100 cross-country flights
only").

Some things you simply can not, & should not, attach to a time-line...
