Mentoring

I applied to be a mentor in computer modelling and had to write a long email about my background. I said I had started doing computer modelling in 1977. I mentioned it to Barb and said that I started computer modelling the year my Mom died, that is 1977. Barb said she didn't die in 1977. She died in 1997. I was confused about whether I had said 1997 or 1977. Then when I looked my email up I realized I had made a mistake. I had to send another email correcting my myself to say that I started in 1997.
