There used to be a lady at Westlands that used to be the expert on International Treaty Arms Regulations (ITAR). She'd give the briefs and you went to her if you were not sure on the classification on things.
Her name was Mary Ringe.
If you ever needed to speak to her you did not tell anybody before doing it. and you found a empty office with a phone in it, otherwise you would have people whispering a variation is your ear, which was hard not to forget.
 
Used to have a connection at work to a gentleman called Scott Lutz. His email address did use his first initial followed by his surname. Always raised a smile when contacting him.
