Nice to see so much appreciation for what we do. (I'm the new-ish executive director.) Any wikipedians reading this, the article about PG is... aging. Last I looked, it said we offered Plucker files. @Jseiko has done some nice work.

This article gets its facts wrong. It was the 1986 MARCH Meeting in Las Vegas where this happened. I was there. A friend of mine overheard the saleswomen talking in the lingerie shop (dressed as you might imagine) "I could be stark na
