The first think Burkett had to do was copy the documents, then copy the copies, then copy those copies, then copies THOSE copies ... etc etc etc etc. about 10 generations to give them the aged look. Then, Fax 'em. What better place to do that than at Kinkos.
Caught him.

Excerpted article:
Ben Barnes was once a considered a rising-star in Texas politics after becoming a state representative at age 21. He remained a prominent political leader during the 1960s and 1970s. .... His honors include the UT Distinguished Alumnus Award, the Ellis Island Congressional Medal of Honor (1993), recognition as one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Men in America" by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (1965), and two honorary law degrees (McMurray University and Texas Tech).
McMurray University is in Abiliene. An honarary degree may indicate some link in the Abileiene area.
Yep nothing like a time stamp to make this fun. Went to school in Abilene my bet is that whomever faxed them for him remembers him or whomever did it.
