<chuckle> I had a somewhat-similar experience in a job interview one
time. The interviewer asked what the SCA was and I gave her the
25-words-or-less version. She said it sounded like something her
daughter might enjoy. After the formal interview was done, I spent
another ten or fifteen minutes telling her more about the SCA, and
when I got home I sent her some contact information for Bjornsborg
(where her daughter lived.)
Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, so I've no idea if the daughter
ever got involved or not.
