In case you didn't figure it out, St. Viatruse was St. Viator's, which is now Olivet Nazarene University. Sorry, a little late responding. ~~Bren > > I looked at the entry.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." ~Helen Keller "A fool continually makes the same mistakes because he never learns from them; a smart man learns from his mistakes and stops making them; but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." ~Brenda H�bert "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~Albert Einstein __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
