Introduction	Thank you, Maureen Orth, (author, "The Importance of Being Famous"). I believe that everyone needs more than fifteen minutes. They need fifteen months - no, make that fifteen years of FAME - or INFAMY. Many cannot live without it! I am a communications strategist. I have also been referred to as a Government Agency Liaison, Account Manager and a Client Relationship Executive. I do try hard to get "show-biz" type HIGH-VIZ "PR" for my people, moreover those who are not in the arts (POLITICOS eat this stuff up --and say, spinning is my business, even in a (FORMER) low-key button-down market like DC is -- or was!) See: www.highviz.net for more about "the day job"---I am just happy to have decent customers who trust my recommendations and reap their benefit. Thanks! Abbe B.
