Studying up

In preparing for this trip, I bought a little Berlitz book on how to speak Arabic, so I could get a few key words down. Hello. Thank you. Excuse me. Do you speak English?
Well after visiting state Rep. Nick Miccarelli, R-162, of Ridley, he's been doing some studying of his own. Besides being on-call 12-hours a night as a helicopter door gunner, he's got the picture of every state representative - Democratic and Republican - hanging in his room to study the face with the name so he recognizes everybody upon his return.
