Thanks for pointing that out, Chris!

I'm tired of Mr. Scallon and seemingly everyone else crediting you for my
bit of creative inspiration. :-)

Here's a question for Mr. Scallon and anyone else who thinks Jon Gurban
deserves even token consideration for the position of park superintendent:

Given Anne Cooper's post yesterday morning about how you can't even get an
interview for a local park director position without a Master's degree, how
could anyone possibly think Gurban is qualified to be superintendent of the
entire park system without having at least a Master's degree?

And as a related question:

Can anyone name one significant positive contribution that Gurban has made
during this past year that he's been the interim superintendent that might
possibly justify overlooking his lack of qualifying credentials?
