An international-employmesearch firm revealed that 26 percent of executives admit they hired employees the past year who had misrepresented their job qualifications or histories. And the spokesman for the company said he wouldnt be surprised if another 26 percent either had not discovered falsification or wouldnt admit it. Accomplished people feel its necessary to embellish or exaggerate what really isn't ture, said the man. Its not surprising-a- nd Ive done it myself. I can still remember my first job interview following my graduation from college. It says here, Mr. Cyclops, intoned the personnel director, that you desire to enter private enterprise after a stint in government service. Is that correct? Thats correct, I replied. I felt I could no longer perform my official duties after my spat with Mr. Reagan. With Mr. Reagan? he asked bewildered. Thats right. I admire the man, but when he began calling me up every morning asking me to have coffee with him, I decided I had had enough. I figured his Vice President gets paid for doing that stuff and...

And thats how 1 got my first shot in Hollywood. You were also in the entertainment business? Oh, some of the crowds didnt think so, but I tried to entertain them. I remember at one concert at which I received a few boos from the 65,000 fans-b- ut after the show the Queen came into my dressing room and said she enjoyed the performance. He smirked. And I suppose you are going to tell me that the Queen of England actually shook your hand. No, not at first. . . but after she knighted me then she... And you probably asked her for a date, too, didnt you Mr. Cyclops? he said sarcastically. Heck, no. I stay away from women. Ever since I winked at Dolly Parton that time and she asked me to have an affair with her, ever since then I stay away from women. Okay, Mr. Cyclops, I think Ive heard enough. Do you think Im an absolute fool? Well, I cant determine that until Ive known you longer, I replied. And anyway, Ive met a lot of real fools before in my political career.

THE COUNCIL 1 Continued on page two Thanks for helping Lundgreen family expresses thoughts We as a family would like to thank the many who have contributed in time and money to the Bobby Lundgreen Fund. Even though the cost of the bone marrow transplant is high, the fund and our insurance has prevented us from going into serious debt. We feel that with the help of the over $10,000 in the fund, and our insurance, we should be able to pay off the remaining expenses over the next few months. WE WISH we could express how much your support and friendship has helped Bobby and our family during the last few months. We are blessed to have so many friends and to live in such a fine community. I am sure our Heavenly Father is pleased with each of you and your willingness to give. Bobby is home and doing well. The many doctors and specialists involved in the bone marrow transplant fill the long process is successful to this point. However, Bobby will not be able to go back to school for a while. It takes several months for his blood counts to build so his immunity will protect him from the many germs present in a classroom environment. Bobby will return to Seattle in late July, 1986 for extensive examinations to determine if the bone marrow is fully established and that no leukemia has returned. If the results are good, it is felt that Bobby will be fully cured and free of leukemia. AMY, BOBBYS sister, who donated the bone marrow and many of the supportive platelets handled her part extremely well, and has no bad effects from the process. We want each of you to know that you have given much more than money to Bobby and our family, and hope that you will continue to bless the lives of others as you have blessed our lives.
