It's quite a good article - Yes, yes, yes! It made a good impression on me - that was almost thirty years ago! While I was typing that e-mail I was thinking about the punning bumper sticker Ithaca Gorges, and that got me on the wrong track. Thanks for taking the time to look that up, Jane. Jim McKenney
