    The release of this newsletter marks not only the date for the first ever Mortgage Fraud Seminar in the State of Colorado but also an important anniversary of an historical event in American history.  
     Fifty-seven years ago, on November 2, 1948, national newspapers announced “Dewey Defeats Truman,” a headline that not only proved inaccurate but was a major embarrassment  for journalists worldwide. 
     And although I would like to write about the great success of our Mortgage Fraud Seminar, history reminds me of the danger of making premature conclusions.  Instead, the actualities will be discussed in our next newsletter.
     I would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank my staff, Anna Freidhof, Susan DeHerrera, Sylvia Freidhof, and Linda Short, for tirelessly working towards the goal of making this seminar a reality.
     Not only have they skillfully handled their typical, heavy workload, but they have also offered their extra effort and time to deal with the private and public sector, research information, give insightful ideas, and tackle mundane tasks to make this seminar a success.  
     I have heard it suggested around the office that I am perhaps not the easiest person to work for (words like perfectionist, driven, and ogre have been heard in passing) but I think in this instance my overburdened staff shares my pride in what we have attempted to accomplish for our industry and community.
     In closing, I can only hope that this seminar accomplishes our goal of bringing together professionals from all disciplines to not only help improve our professions and economy but also to protect and help honest citizens who find themselves victims of fraudulent practices.
