*** SPECIAL NOTE concerning my most recent employers, IAP Worldwide Services and DEL JEN: It may be noted that the business location, supervisor and phone number are the same for both of these companies. This is not an error, but is in fact accurate for both of them.

Due to contractual issues, the DEL JEN organization of which I was a part was changed into a separate company, IAP Worldwide Services. This was using the same physical location, phone numbers and many of the same employees as before. Hence the information for my company's address and supervisor's name and phone number are indeed the same for both IAP Worldwide Services and DEL JEN. ***
