Abstract
One October night in 2000, six medical librarians drove up a mountain outside of El Paso, Texas, to see the lights. I sat immediately behind Teresa L. Knott, AHIP, the driver. On the way back down the mountain, I noticed that she occasionally used the van's handbrake while continuing to answer our questions about the sights. Another passenger, Linne' Girouard, remembers that Teresa's responses were informative but brief and perhaps less chatty than usual, which Linne' attributed to the lateness of the hour and the darkness of the road. Imagine our surprise when, as the van came to a stop at the first traffic signal on the edge of El Paso, Teresa pulled the handbrake and announced that the brakes had gone out while we were coming down the mountainside! All that had kept us from careening off the mountain were Teresa's skill with the handbrake and, more importantly, her poise. I can safely say that we were all relieved that it was Teresa driving and not one of the rest of us.
