He asked my help in putting it intooperation.At first, he handled most of the work. Eventually, though, he asked me to helpwith the last phase of the training. When I sat down with one woman and toldher I would be showing her how to make changes to the files, she sighed withrelief.

I get nervousaround really smart people."
