01. Who is this famous guy? Lots of Social Security activity happened under his overall watch.
02. How about this guy? If Congress had listened to him, there would not be any question about Social Security solvency.
03. Remember this lady? A very dynamic manager at the Social Security Administration.
04. If you worked in the field, you may have known, or heard of, this guy.
05. Another manager who made a big impact at the Social Security Administration.
06. Take a close look here. If you worked at SSA, you may have known somebody who is shown.
07. A Note from Friends
I received a copy of the annual Holiday Letter from Bruce and Ruth Duncan. For those who don't know these people, let me say that they both worked at the Social Security Administration some years ago. Bruce had always wanted to be an Anglican Priest; however, he had a stuttering problem that he needed to overcome. As soon as he did that, he was accepted as a Priest and he and Ruth left SSA to pursue an interesting life in the religious community.
They served the Inuits in Upper Canada, families in California, and parishes in Massachusetts, where they live now.
If you knew Bruce and Ruth and would like to have a copy of their interesting letter, let me know.
08. Social Security Organization
Former SSA Commissioner Robert Ball founded an organization devoted to International Social Insurance issues: The National Academy of Social Security. This organization has a wonderful address in Washington, DC: 1776 Massachusetts Avenue. Check the organization out at:

09. Looking for fellow SSA'ers
Arthur DeRuve is looking for former OHA (now ODAR) workers/employees/professionals to form a group to meet and reminisce about the "old days".
10 We're looking for fellow SSA'ers also.
Don't forget to tell your friends to check out our Social Security Alumni website, which has just been updated:

11. Woodlawn Villager
As I've mentioned before, the Woodlawn Villager newspaper continues to publish news and pictures about the Social Security Alumni Association. A recent spread appeared about our new office open house, with marvelous pictures. I'll talk more about them in a future blog entry. Meanwhile, if you live anywhere near Woodlawn, Maryland, check out the Villager.. its a free newspaper that can be found almost universally in the area.
