Hello All, After much frustration and hair-pulling, not to mention a few choice words, I have decide that the qualifications for the position of Census Taker were :- The applicant must be half-blind and deaf, and unable to spell or write in a ledgible manner. If you have all the above qualifications you are in !!! Being stupid wouldn't hurt either, LOL !!! Cheers, Pam, an Aldershot, Hants. gal in Arizona. Always looking for RENNEY, in the N.E. and ROGERS in Hampshire. ==== HAMPSHIRE-LIFE Mailing List ==== Please use common sense when sending or replying to messages on the list.
