Should have been there!

System

You're the winner if you can name these three! The symposium in Las Vegas was rich with expert legal advice. It's apparent when you meet the staff at M. Lee Smith that they are a positive and humorous bunch who work well together. I'm glad to have met some of them. Glad that I went!

Margaret Morford on the left, not sure who is in the middle, and you, Sam, on the right (I can tell by the shoes).

Do I get partial credit?

safety

Duck Parabeagle, Sam is throwing a fastball stiletto at you. Sam, just who is that lucky fellow in the middle?

Don D

I think it's Timothy Leary. Is Sam standing on a box?

System

Okay, Parabeagle, partial credit for first place, unless someone beats you out. Safety, I can't tell you who the guy is. Someone will identify him. But you get Parabeagle's point for being nice. No, Don, it's not Timothy Leary. Are you making fun of me?! I have heels on that make me 5' 7" for the photo! No points for you.

Parabeagle

Kinda looks like Ray...

So, Sam, are you in the habit of letting strange men put their arms around you? x;-)

safety

Got it, John Phillips.

marc

For some unknown reason, I recognized Sam and Margaret right away, but was clueless about the Charles Schwartz look alike.

SMace

Is it James S.?

System

Hey, Beag, he's not so strange. Yeah, kinda' does look like Ray or Charles Shultz, but no, not either. No, not James.

Don D

I have it! He's The Road Manager for the Chippendales. They're always looking for 'Roadies' and sometimes will recruit seniors to do laundry and stuff. How many points do I get?

System

Not even warm! Keep trying. There's a consolation prize for second and third place.

Parabeagle

Actually, he also looks a little like Al Franken...

Whirlwind

Guy in the middle: Mike Maslanka?

Don D

I hate to defame a seemingly intelligent and happy man, but, if you look at that picture especially carefully, he looks like Larry Flynt. But he can't be since there's no wheelchair, unless you two are holding him up.

System

Not Al Franken, Mike Maslanka, or Larry Flint.

ray a

Can't be me, I have more hair. Actually folks, I have the inside scoop. Sam please forgive me for spilling the beans. When Sam's boss heard about her trip to LV, he insisted he had to go along with her as a way to learn more about HR and to be more sensitive to her needs and so she would have company. That is THE MAYOR!

System

Number One: The mayor IS NOT MY BOSS! Two: I would have taken the cyanide first! That's it for you Raymond! Last place!

SMace

No soup, one year!

ritaanz

Hey Sam! Lee Smith???

Don D

Some women will fall for anything. That guy crawled down off the City of Las Vegas Trash truck, changed into a coat and tie, signed in, got the seminar manual and a free meal and hugged these two women and left in a flash. No lapel name should have given him away. That and the lettuce on his left heel.

System

Good guess Rita, but not Lee Smith. Not the trash man, Don. Keep trying. We took our name tags off for the shot.

lnelson

Margaret Morford, John Phillips and Sam (SMoll)
Ok what do I win.

Lisa

marc

Safety guessed John Phillips in Post 6.

Don D

The Star Spangled Banner, right, John Phillips Susa? I still say the guy was a nobody and these girls asked him to do a photo op 'cause they were being ignored in the lobby. You know how women are.

System

Ah, you're right! Safety had it. I guess I'll call it a tie with Inelson and Safety. How's this: Dinner for two at the renowned Elkton Diner on rt. 40 on Wednesday night for the all-you-can-eat chicken and dumpling special?!!! Huh? Sounds good, eh? I'll even pay for Margaret and John if they'd like to join us. Simply fly into Philadelphia and I pick you up at the airport. Say when!

SMace

I may regret this, but who is John Phillips?

ray a

Wasn't he a singer with the Mamas and Papas back in the 60s?

Whirlwind

Yes, he was a Papa.

safety

Ok, pay attention. On the left side of your screen click on the link to Employment Law Newsletters, then click on the state of Tn. and his picture is there. When Sam posted this I first looked at the Nev. letter then thought possibly Tn. so it didn't take long to find his picture.

Whirlwind

So, John Phillips was a 60's folk-rock singer and is now an attorney. What a versatile guy --- a true renaissance man.
