Speaking of Old SF History - the Buffer Man?
How's he doing? You said you'd check up on him.

The one on the PsyOps painting hanging in the JFK Center entrance hallway?
We used to refer to the 'B' in 05B, 11B, 12B, and 91B as being Army code for 'Buffermaster' which we earned cleaning the JFK Center while going through SFTG.

Yeah
Yeah, that's the one.
I was telling the story to Glebo while at lunch yesterday with a great group of PS.com members up at the Lodge. The, er, wait staff, was giving us dirty looks as it was well past lunch time and our table was the only folks in there.
Stras was there and his CSM was sitting at another table to keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't grow his hair out like the rest of us long hairs.
Anyway, Glebo, since he works in the "Tan" (ex White) House. said he would check up on Buffer Man.
