 # Resumes
+# Author/Maintainer: Karl Hallsby
+
+# What is This?
+This repository holds all LaTeX versions of Karl Hallsby's Curriculum Vitae/Resumes.
+This is intended for personal use.
+The document classes for these curriculum vitae are from the Internet, and I do not claim ownership of them.
+I will use a different one at the document class author's request.
+
+# Why \LaTeX?
+I decided to use LaTeX because the typesetting inherent to that system makes creating a nice looking resume easier than done in WYSISYG word processors.
+I also tend to prefer to use open-source materials when possible.
