Brief moment of panic today when I realized that I did not have my Blackberry, just minutes after my last lecture of the INTA 2009 Annual Meeting.
I retraced my steps to the bathroom and then the ballroom where the lecture occurred. The only person left in the room was one of the speakers. I asked him if he saw a Blackberry laying around in the front row. He said no, but someone was waving one around asking if it belonged to anyone.
I immediately looked for a Washington State Trade & Convention Center staff person. When I found one, I asked her for the location of Lost & Found. Before she could answer, a gentleman passed by and asked, Are you David Krell? He retrieved the Blackberry.
Providence may be fickle, but sometimes she comes through in the clutch. What are the odds of our crossing paths at the exact moment of my Lost & Found inquiry?
By the way, the gentleman was Andrew P. Bridges of Winston & Strawn. He is the winner of the 2009 David Krell Good Samaritan Award.
