....one of whom, Maria Whittaker, I used to teach. Her assets are 
displayed on various tasteful web-sites, and personality-wise she was 
a very amenable co-worker. I think the only influence I could ever 
claim was that she sometimes wore black underwear. Give her my 
regards, if she ever pays a morale boosting visit. You'll notice her 
enter the room 5 minutes before she does, if you get my drift.
