Okay, I guess those north of the Mason-Dixon line have been too snowed in and everyone else is out fighting the crowds in the mall. At least we're all still here! For Nan: sorry, but I don't have any Wheelocks born as late as 1782. I'm sure someone else will have more information, though. All right, now that a number of us have checked in, I'll go quiet again until after New Year's. I'll look through my FTM files for another Mendon mystery and be back in 2004. There's no snow to shovel and I can't afford shopping (anyone paying full costs at a private college for their children will understand why), so the dog will get lots of walks. Enjoy your holidays and time with your families! Frank
