Clara is absolutely right....

But I will say in defense of all that work we did.  We were younger (no
kids), and we wanted the experience.  Doing the Creative Source Diretory
took me from knowing very little about color printing and 4-color theory,
to knowing enough to get me my present Art Director job (and making me feel
pretty  secure in holding on to it, because now I know more than anybody
here, except one printing specialist in this establishment!)

It ultimately was a worth while investment of my time, but it sure hurt
while I was doing it!
