[StBernard] Clerk of Court

[Westley Annis]

Cindy,

I can't take credit for the post that you responded to and addressed to me.

It was written by Cabowabojan.  He does make some very good points.  Since 
you had such a bad experience with the Clerk or Courts office maybe some 
people in there do need some additional training.  If the person is having a

bad day they should keep it to themselves.  I just have not experienced 
this, I'm not saying it didn't happen to you.
