Gypsy, I knew it, as I said I am making another trip to Lansing soon, thought that was the only place I would have seen it. You could come over and go with me--think about it. Or we could meet there. As I am almost as far from your town as i am to Lansing, so that would be twice the way for you. It is about an hour from me, easy trip.
