Unique Personnel Makeup
The personnel of Environmental Encroachment is so numerous and fluctuates so much so (due to the lives and outside responsibilities of individual members) that it is virtually impossible to include all current members in any given appearance. Over the years, many former mainstays have moved on while the group seems to be constantly replenished by new, younger talent. This has been the continuing trend ever since the beginning. Additionally, it is worth noting that EE is also an intergenerational group: Some of its current members are grandparents, some are parents, and some are college-age and younger. At least 2 father-and-son combinations have been part of the group at one point, as well as at least 3 husband-and-wife combos.

Famous quotes containing the words unique, personnel and/or makeup:
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self- opinionated.”
—Report by Personnel Officer at I.C.I., rejecting Mrs. Thatcher for a job in 1948.
“In the middle of the next century, when the literary establishment will reflect the multicultural makeup of this country and not be dominated by assimiliationists with similar tastes, from similar backgrounds, and of similar pretensions, Langston Hughes will be to the twentieth century what Walt Whitman was to the nineteenth.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
