I first met my colleague, John, when we were studying at Duke University. He walked into my room, said hello, and then we started talking about history together. John looks like one of those little people in 'Lord of the Rings,' with funny ears. He always has a smile in his eyes. He also tells crazy stories. He has one story about playing the flute in New Orleans. He was playing on the street when a river of water came down the street. He ran! In the end, both John and I got hired by BTC. Now he's an old friend.
