Scott Mansfield idolized The King.
When he left the company in April of 2000, he left certain holy relics
behind, knowing that the next person to occupy his office would treat
the items with the adoration they deserved. He left behind his gila
monster with the suction-cup feet. He left behind his plastic-domed
statue of St. Claire of Assisi, Patron of Television. He left behind his
mahogany desk set, including a clock that always reads 5:05, quitting
time. He also left behind this shrine to The King, which was carefully
and reverently transported to the Center when Technical Writing Services
relocated here in December of 2000. The King lives on, in all our
hearts, and this shrine is now dual in nature: It primarily honors The
King, but also honors the Founder of Technical Writing Services, who
also lives on, in all our manuals.
*The 'Shrine' is currently set up
in the office of Suzette Dearing. She is the author of the historical
accounting above. |
