Actuarial Sightings

From The Wall Street Journal, February 11, 1997, page 1. Submitted by Walter C. Wright.
"Josue Villa, an actuarial assistant at Citizens Inc.... says he is allowed to use his full brainpower." Wow! Imagine the power unleashed in his workplace!

From the Boston Sunday Globe, March 16, 1997, page 1. Submitted by Louis Brown.
"Detective Walter ‘Mitty’ Robinson Jr. looks as threatening as an actuary: short and balding, with wire-rim glasses and a neat, gray goatee." What CAS member meets that description?

From the PBS television show Finding Financial Freedom with Jonathan Pond. Submitted by Paul A. Chabarek.
While discussing the financial tip of spending less than you earn, Pond commented that among spouses, very frequently "spenders" are married to "savers." He then followed it up with a remark something like "...Now, you wouldn't want both spouses being savers, would you? That would be like having an actuary married to another actuary."
