I actually disagree, there's nothing wrong with having an object for a
person, but I agree about not doing simple queries for every lookup.

My classes all implement a selectIDs($array) method that you call once and
it then gets all of those IDs and caches them so when I call my
findID($ID) method it just retrieves it from the cache.

Cheers,
