Help - bio information; Poor saps



'lo all,

Can anyone out there get me the first name of Mrs. Allan S. Lehman, wife of
said Allan Lehman, a partner at Lehman Brothers brokerage in the 50's?
Among my many pet peeves is that habit of a certain time period of
identifying women by their husband's name only.

If anybody has this info, through old copies of Who's Who or similar
sources, or any other means for that matter, I'd be most grateful.

Incidentally, my apologies if I insulted anyone with the term "Poor Sap"; it
was politer than some of the other terms that occurred to me, and I only
meant to indicate the unfortunate position many of us get put in when
something we have no training or business being involved with gets dumped in
our laps.

I was put in that position recently myself, and I think I've managed with
it, but I still maintain it should never have been my responsibility to deal
with this project, but the powers that be don't really care.

Daniel (processed sap is Maple Syrup, isn't it?) Sokolow
