Page tew... have you ever tried... Ssssssssssit-rical?

(For those unfamiliar with him, Paul Harvey is an American newscaster, one
of the last with a pre-World War II recogniseable-style voice. A brief
biography may be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Harvey .)

All of this is of some interest to me, because Indianapolis' own Fort
Benjamin Harris, the DFAS facility, was to have picked up some of this
work, but as of now, all seems pretty "quiet", and nobody knows if the
"promised" jobs will ever materialize.

Fort Benjamin Harris is 'the DFAS facility'? I'd been lead to believe
that they (DFAS) were out of Pensacola, FL... and as anyone of a Certain
Age in a Certain Society knows, 'Pensacola, it's the spot!'

Fort Benjamin Harrison is still one of the 5 centers.

I spent a week or two there selling/installing some data entry equipment
in the 80's. I lived in the area before, and it was a nice visit!

I spent 2 days in the jail at Fort Benjamin Harrison in 1969 but
that's another story :)
