Greetings, I had a relative I called "Aunt Minnie" but she was a Swede. I can't imagine her being Mary, or Winniford or any of the other names people have suggested. I should investigate her - she was born in Sweden and always spoke with a Swedish accent and was never called anything else other than Minnie.

Not here!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
