-- 1 and 2 and 3 and.. Performers on the world's passing parade stage ..4 and 5 and 6 and..
Description of Service: -- I've found that as bystanders, most of us would prefer to be witnesses and not be conscripted volunteers. We want to be left alone.. similar to those three 'posed' dumb monkeys: 'See No Evil' - 'Hear No Evil' and 'Speak No Evil'.

-- In every society someone rises to the top to take charge and give out orders. -- Your 'Order' is: Pay your IASL Dues and come to our meetings--they are Your Meetings.

-- "There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights: All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts, are one-story men. --

Two-story men compare, reason, and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. --

Three-story men idealize, imagine, and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight."
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes

-- Who knows who will take your place when you don't come? How does it look to our Guest Speaker when you're not there?
