    3. > Cheryl, Cheryl, this ain't no skirmish going on on St. Vincent! Do yourself a favour and purchase Shepherd's History of the Island of St. Vincent; you'll get the whole bloody scene. My office is too much of a mess to find the book and give you the details but I can think of a dozen folks on this List reading this that can give out the ISBN, etc., a lot faster than I can organize this mess. And oh, the luggage arrived this afternoon - will get a bagatelle out tomorrow. Promise to be a short one for those not Vincys. And thanks Jim C., there's a packet waiting me at the post office. Keep an eye on the mail, yourself. best wishes all, Cod, you still with us, man? (just checkin).
