[acb-hsp] Information About Job Fair at ACB Convention

[Andy Baracco]

I wonder if they will actually be doing any recruiting.  I wonder if 
there is any record of anyone being hired from last year's job 
fair.  I attended, and I didn't get the impression that there was any 
real interviewing going on.  This year, I will not be able to attend 
because I am going to the aircraft museum.
