Lessons Learned from 28 years of Attending ARMA
It’s funny how memories that should be wonderful are often overshadowed by the little things that occur. I haven’t been back in Washington since 1990. I was President of ARMA International that year and a small group of us were going to the White House to meet with one of President Bush’s legislative aides regarding the Paperwork Reduction Act. Imagine just how excited we were… ARMA at the White House! As we went through security I was made aware that no, they don’t let prunes (or any food for that matter) into the White House! Now I don’t know about you, but my opinion is that prunes are a great thing to have at the ready when you travel. There were only a few in the bag so I stuck them in my purse. My colleague who accompanied me is still laughing, more than 20 years later, so you can only imagine how embarrassed I was and the ribbing I received at the time they confiscated my dried fruit. I can’t tell you what I saw in DC that week or even what we discussed in that meeting for my only memory is that of the prunes!
