Now I will try to dig that damn quote up just to lay things to rest

I like that poem, Spiral. It's an inspiring way to remember the Hadendoa.

Hi Emanuel,
I can totally relate.....I cant stand it when there is a reference or a quote I cant relocate! It makes me want to put everything on some kind of tape or recording!!

All the best,
Jim
