Roy Vigilance forgot something important.

For more than two years.

Vigilance, an optometrist in Springfield, practiced for 25 months without a license. His license expired in  Dec. ‘04 and he didn’t apply for renewal until February of this year.

The board slapped him with a $750 fine and 16 hours of continuing education classes in the regulations required for the renewal of his ‘07, ‘08 and ‘09 licenses.
