What do you find when you type in your name? I put mine in and found one I thought was impressive.
What interesting facts can you find out about people posing as you?
Mine goes like this...
“Mike Duncan is a values-driven, virtuous gentleman who loves Kentucky,” observed Education Cabinet Secretary Virginia Fox. “In all of his Kentucky work in education, economic development, youth mentoring and region building, Mike has recruited staff, program participants, board members and volunteers without regard to race, gender or political affiliation.”
A civic capitalist, Mike Duncan is active in numerous professional and nonprofit organizations. He served as chairman of a state university and a private college. He has served as Chairman for the Center for Rural Development in Somerset, a $30 million state-of-the-art regional center emphasizing telecommunications, training, and development. President Bush appointed him to the President’s Commission on White House Fellows in 2001. Duncan is a Trustee of the Christian Appalachian Project, the fifteenth largest private social services agency in America. Mr. Duncan is a former chairman and current director of the Kentucky Governor’s Scholars Program, a unique educational experience for rising high school juniors. His student-mentoring program, in its twenty-sixth year, was featured on CBS Sunday Morning and in the Los Angeles Times.
Professionally, Duncan was President of the Kentucky Bankers Association and a Director of the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank Cincinnati Branch. In 1989-90, during a sabbatical, he worked in the Bush White House as Assistant Director of Public Liaison. His public service has been recognized with several distinctions including honorary degrees from Cumberland College and the College of the Ozarks.

I'm still unimpressed with who all I'm not...
Other than a coupl'a BB posts, and I think that WAS me who signed the guest book at 'Ohio barns' . . . I am not a master of science in nursing, and have'nt been the president of a parish council lately . . . or ever, and I have not co-ordinated an Amaius walk . . .
You can NOT e-mail me for technical support or to recieve updates on changes in sophisticated weapons systems & equipment at any Air force logistics centers. . . . that ain't me... yet.
Also I'm not, nor have I ever been, a 'Mom from Corpus Christie' writin' about pottie trainin' a kid. . .
As much as many of you might LIKE for it to be me . . . I did not.... or at least... I don't remember... relating anything about 'Hemp beer' in the Marijuana News . . .
The rest of the pages there were simply stuff with many names listed such as SHEILA jones, jane doe, john FERRELL . . .some chick named Sheila who wrote something about Will Ferrell . . . etc.
Apparently, they give you any and every instance known to man-in-the-computer where either of those two names, were found for any reason.
I also went to my maiden name and scanned SEVERAL pages there finding nada. . . .
Oh well . . . better to be vague, unknown and anonomously crazy than to be famously or mistakenly noted . . .
Thanx Arthur.
And the rest of you?? . . . DON'T help search for me. I don't wanna waste time 'finding' myself when I KNOW I'm right here all the time. . . .anyway, I realize, I know 'zackly who I am and what all I've done . . .an' have'nt done . . .
But look . . .if 'they' don't know I'm here . . .the question STILL stands . . .do non-existent people STILL have to pay bills????

It's so common that the powers that be came up with a name for it. It's called "ego surfing" Apparently there's a lot pf people with too much time on their hands. 1st for ego surfing, and 2nd for coming up with a name for it.
Happy New Year,

I tried that a long time ago.
One guy was a Methodist minister, and the other was a missionary in South America. I decided that if they were trying to copy me, they were not doing a very good job of it at all.
Never tried it again.

The first reference that come up is a jeweler/ designer in New York City. That is kind of funny because my major in college was art education with a concentration in jewelry and ceramics. Hmmmm! The second reference is an article about the Mail Pouch watercolors I did. That was fun... Who else can I google....

I recently "googled" my company name "Jeff Fisher LogoMotives" and nearly 3000 entries popped up. It's interesting to scroll through the links and see where you actually appear - and in what context.
