Where Are They Now? Stephanie Assham-Dubious Edition
Mike G. wrote in and asked why I hadn't used Stephanie Assham-Dubious as an example during the post I made about last names.
That brings back some memories.
Stephanie Assham was originally hired in 2003 as my administrative assistant. She married Leonard Dubious in 2004 and adopted a hyphenated last name. She rose through the ranks to Director of Corporate Communications, although, in truth, no one else had been hired in the previous fourteen years and it was entirely title inflation. Still, though, it looked good on a business card.
In 2017, the picture becomes murky. Stephanie went on an innocent trip to Guatemala and somehow wound up alerting the secret police. After being tailed for much of her visit, her passport was confiscated as she prepared to board a return flight home. After escaping captivity, she sent me a postcard saying she was traveling overland by burro to Belize.
There, the trail runs cold.
Was she mixed up in a criminal enterprise? Working as an intelligence agent? I never knew.
It's been nine years now, and I've often thought of her, mostly because her filing system was so cryptic I'm still looking for important documents almost a decade later.
If you're out there, Stephanie, send up a flare. Or a document explaining your filing system.
