Kent, Class of ’38, Dean Emeritus.) Our applicant seems to have chosen wisely in that department, taking up the guise of a humble gardner. Even better, if his services are “out-sourced” by the hotel and he is not on staff, this makes it easier for him to slip in and out practically unnoticed. (Of course, if he is on staff, possible low pay limits his access to helpful resources; this may explain a lot.)In dealing with dual identities, however, one must be careful to keep them “compartmentalized,” never to be mixed.
