I imagine that you could tell some great tales of encounters during your field work. Any of your clients ever discourage your visit with shotguns and the like?

No I can't say that ever happened at work, but I have been in a couple of situations outside of work where gun play was threatened. Sort of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I still have all my fingers and toes so luck was with me. My brother told me once that he had a job as a census taker and he was threatened with violence while trying to do the census up in the hills of northern Arkansas. Most of the people I dealt with were nice and realized I was just trying to help them, but occasionally I would encounter someone that was just mad at the world so I did have to weather a little verbal abuse here and there. All in all, I was pretty lucky. My job wasn't exactly 9 to 5 which was good. I doubt I would have made nearly 40 years, if I had been in a conventional situation with a supervisor on site and watching my every move.
