A day in the life of
a specification writer
continued from page 56
rest of the page with indecipherable
and tedious architectural and engi-
neering pablum; sprocket, drop-gable,
wingnut.
E. You're still here? Well this is
awkward …
F. Ah … so … can you believe
this weather??

Pay tribute to those who
have passed in the pages
of World Fence News
It is never a pleasant task, but
World Fence News is honored to re-
member fence industry members who
are no longer with us by publishing
obituaries and memoria in its pages.
Many of the obituaries tell interest-
ing and often inspiring stories about
the lives of the people who helped
shape the modern day fencing indus-
try, and/or helped create it.
In addition to the obituaries pub-
lished throughout the year, Dynamic
Tube & Pipe makes possible the Fenc-
er's Memoriam, a very nice tribute to
fence industry members who have
passed away. It is a formal listing of
these individuals presented in "me-
moriam" style.
In the event of the loss of a loved
one who was involved in the fence in-
dustry, please feel free to submit com-
plete obituary information which will
be published in a timely manner. This
information also will be used to com-
pile the Fencer's Memoriam.
Much obituary information is
available online, and often World
Fence News uses that to form the basis
of an obituary. But rarely do the on-
line obituaries delve into the fencing
career and involvement of the individ-
ual, and that is where as much supple-
mental information from the family
and/or associates is welcome.
Submit obituary information to
WFN managing editor Rick Hen-
derson at editor@worldfencenews.
