Can anyone determine what the following initials after a name denote?

Read it backwards...

But of course... thanks for the insight.

Judy's the smart one! I didn't get it, lol!

I don't know how long I've seen that, but never got it either. That's what happens when you get too educated...commonsense goes right out the window!

In the old days there were people that had up tp 30 letters behind their name. All accumulated titles of some sort or another.

The more letters behind their names the more respect they expected from others and often also got. In today's age it is all BS but it still impresses some people.

That is why I invented my own proper titles on the optiboard and have puzzled many among the times over the last 4 years.

I beg to differ...not all (optical) initials after a name are unworthy of respect. I am rather proud of my ABOM and FCLSA designations, but unfortunately very few in Canada have any idea what they represent.

Not too many ABOM and FCLSA. A few years ago there were only 7 of us. Can't be more than about 10 now considering the pass rate of ABO advance and then submitting their papers and passing the fellow exam after the NCLC-AC exam.
