So you are one of the fab-five. Lucky You!

Agreed.






How did Homer go about selecting the 5 of you...or did you come to him?






Homer was in contact with many people interested in his work. He never
mentioned his selection process, but it was no doubt highly subjective. He
did have a prerequisite of a GSEB (Golf Stroke Engineering Bachelor) which at
that time could be conferred by holders of the GSEM (Master) designation. I
did find it interesting -- and perhaps more than coincidental -- that we five
represented one each from the North, South, East, West and Midwest.

From my side of the fence, for more than a year, I mounted a deliberate,
sustained frontal attack using the telephone as my weapon of choice. My
strategy?
