The man who got fired is David Steward. I asked him for his resume so I could post it here and see if any of you can help him find a job in the Fort Madison area of Iowa. Here’s a Google Maps link:

Ignore the formatting of the resume. I didn’t want to spend all morning figuring out how to move it into TypePad in a way that looks pretty. If anyone wants to offer Dave some CONSTRUCTIVE help with his resume, his e-mail address is below.
