I remember you were from Newark, how did I forget your dad worked in a beer factory? Ballentine, maybe that had something to do with it.

Ron don't feel bad at all. While going to college I'd type all my term papers (before computers with spell check were invented), then my wife would sit down with Mr. Webster and re-type them. I remember using the word macabre once. It took her four phone calls before she got the right spelling. Once I wanted to use the phrase, C'est moi L'Etat. Paper was handed in a week late, I had to call a French teacher to get the spelling. Most great thinkers don't waste their time with mundane things like spelling.

Steye Halthy,
