Astronaut Visit

[Phil Fargaze]

A nearby college has invited a well known Apollo astronaut to do an I.T. presentation for them and then will reflect on his Apollo adventures. It`s free and it is open to business leaders and there are spare tickets

I,m not a business leader, but have I got the front to pose as an M.D. of some fictional company just to go. I could well be in out of my depth and my alias could be exposed. Just what should I do.........

Don't tell them you invented Post-it notes!

Just pretend you run some Astronomy related company. Make up a good name (First Light Optics sounds good) and wing it. Then go all open mouthed and tongue tied when you ask for an autograph (and get one for me to - To my best buddy Hugh, you taught me everyting I know, Peace and luv, Neil - that should do!)

XLNT !! Hope you go, just wing it and avoid technical conversations on business models !! You can then come out and shine when the conversation turns to Apollo !!

Wing it mate . Print some cards . Wear a suit. Talk with words like ''profit and loss'' ,''turnover'', ''downturn'' , ''market trends''

Most business leaders waffle , it's the workers that work !

I`ve gotta do it, it`s been beating me up all day. I`m going to tell my boss that I`m representing his company, that will do!

[Phil Fargaze]

Just got back from Charlie Duke`s presentation Very good, he is an excellent speaker. We had a good hour of moon talk and only 20 mins of business talk at the end, so it was really worth while going. I was just about to shake his hand at the end (with pen at the ready) but they ushered him off! I think he would have stayed there much longer to chat and meet but never mind. Having a first hand account from a man that has been to the moon was just amazing.

Did you know the invention of post it notes was actually a mistake in the chemicals of a glue that didn't stick properly?

Just thought I'd mention that.
