:o)))))

Be very aware that the "show persons" bend, twist, and exaggerate the 
facts with "GREAT" "artistic license"...  As PT Barnum says "There's 
a sucker born every minute!".

I do note that great friends today, become perfect strangers tomorrow...

But on the other side, these people do work in the CA entertainment 
industry and deal with safety regulations, inspectors, insurance 
companies, unions, lawyers... at a level that would kill the ordinary 
human...  I do note that often the safety certifications are just to 
"build up" the fact that they really might know what they are 
doing.  Anyone can sign up for every safety class, defibrillator 
training, fist aid, CPR... class known to man kind.  The difference 
is, they "have to"...  It is a very real part of their "game"...

Dean Ortner and Cynder Moon play their own games so they do not have 
to worry such...

Cheers,

        Terry
