[boz130]

Gents, I'm about to share w/all of my GC Lamb Chop brethren the deep, dark reason the guys from Beta-Omicron @ Illinois State always ask each other, "What's your BOZ number?"...

Okay, I lied--I honestly don't know why. All I can say is that it's been going on since the early days of the chapter (chartered 1969).

The Chapter Consultants and ELC's that have made their way through beautiful downtown Normal, IL have all wondered about this, as well. Even though my friends from Campuspeak would hate to hear me say it, "We've always done it this way."

Yes, I've been told by more than a few people that my actual email designation s/b "bo130", or more correctly "B-O 130". I even got a quizzical look from the guy who sold me my pin back in the dark ages--he thought the engraving should just be "BO 130".

Nope, it's always been BOZ, and even our founding father isn't sure of why it happened this way. On the other hand, it was kinda cool to have had the Northwestern alumni anoint me as "Boz" when I started working w/them 8 years ago.

That's my story & I'm sticking to it...BTW, if any of you UG posters missed your regional conferences this year, you should definitely try to make it the summer conference @ Maryland/College Park.

Yours in ZAX,
BF a.k.a. Boz
