...reason for Fry's executive success was a phenomenal memory; he knew parliamentary procedure by heart and never found a Double-Crostic puzzle that he could not solve. "He is not exactly the warmhearted shepherd," a colleague explained. "He has a tendency to kick the rumps of the sheep, rather than lead them." At one church convention, Fry was explaining a complicated motion when one delegate said: I'm not quite clear. I'm afraid I fell off at the last turn."
