Oh, John, thanks for jogging my memory; I own that book and had forgotten about it. Will look up the section on Klamm Park this minute. Also bought copies for each of my two sisters, one now living in Virginia, the other in California. They both treasure the book, and so do I. It's a statistical marvel!
