The following is posted on behalf of my employers, for my position.  This is
a truly unique opportunity in a stunning setting.  I am leaving with mixed
emotion for another one-of-a-kind opportunity here in the Valley of the Sun.
What the posting does not communicate is that it would be great to find
someone who has some SQL knowledge, Crystal Reports experience, and database
administration skills, which is why I'm forwarding to the TMS listserv.
