Ruthie recalls a particularly amusing incident at the start up of Cardinal Chambers (long since gone to the courtroom in the sky). No expense had been spared in the champagne and interior design for the opening party. However the stationery proudly proclaimed "Carnal Chambers" since the chambers logo obscured the letters d and i. The error proved prophetic since the chambers folded shortly after...
