Staffing the booth was former CPCUG president Dennis Courtney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I asked Dennis whether he was volunteering for a day or two, he replied that he was volunteering for every day of the fair. Best as I can recall, that fair went on for 5 days or more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The degree of devotion required to do that much volunteering is rare. That's a rare degree of devotion. Other leaders of the &lt;a href = "http://www.cpcug.org"&gt;Capital PC User Group&lt;/a&gt; have shown an equal degree of devotion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sometimes wonder what causes a person to have that much devotion. Maybe it boils down to the fact that they care a lot.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20879419-113707775607752409?l=usergroupstories2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usergroupstories2.blogspot.com/feeds/113707775607752409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20879419&amp;postID=113707775607752409' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20879419/posts/default/113707775607752409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20879419/posts/default/113707775607752409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usergroupstories2.blogspot.com/2006/01/unusual-devotion.html' title='Unusual devotion'/><author><name>Phil Shapiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16051999512417898279</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://www.writersforliteracy.org/phil2005.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
