I told you you'd go blind! - from Dick Conlon

In August 1968 while attending interviewing school, Dan VanderMeer, our instructor taught the correct use of motivation and the value of thinking on your feet.

Dan told of the time he was interviewing a syphilis patient in the lower levels of the Chelsea Clinic in NYC back in 1965 (the year of the great blackout). Despite Dan's best efforts the patient divulged little. Suddenly, the lights went out and the room was completely dark. The patient fearfully exclaimed, "what happened? I can't see a thing." To which Dan replied, "See, I told you you'd go blind."
