there is a story told about the great anthropologist Lewis Leakey. In those
days one had to demonstrate competence in a foreign language in order to get
one's PhD. Leakey's language of choice - Swahili.

Well, the university had no Swahili experts on staff, so they enquired among
the various educational elite, and were given the name of one of the world's
foremost experts in Swahili - Lewis Leakey!

I have heard an alternative version of this story, in which Leakey actualy
trained the person who would give him the competency examination...

Is anyone on this list personally acquaited with Terry Slattery ( CCIE #
1026, and the first non Cisco CCIE )? I wonder if Mr. Slattery would be
willing  to offer some insight here.
