All I can say Ken, is that I seem to have a lot of brothers and sisters around the globe who appear to have had a similar upbringing in saving every mortal thing Over and above those I was born with :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/09/2013 17:00, Ken wrote: > Nivard, are you my long-lost twin brother?? > > Ken Harrison > North Vancouver, Canada
