Sorry, I'm late catching up with my e-mail. O.K., I stand corrected! <g> But seriously .... is it my imagination that most, if not all, of the GEIGER locations in Germany, etc., seem to be in the southern part - not too far from SWT? I'm referring to those GEIGERS who emigrated to Amer. from these locations. Just an idle thought.
