The Harrison Fisher book, “American Beauties”, that I purchased from an ebay seller a few weeks ago is in nice condition, especially considering the fact that it’s 102 years old, so this is not one of my most spectacular “before and afters” (maybe I can show you a spectacular one some day) but I thought I’d…

The Big Move
I’ve been employed as a legal assistant with the Canadian Federal Department of Justice for almost 9 1/2 years.
