Hi, Listers The current correspondence about Occupation reminded me that I have never thanked the Listers who replied to my question about 'hurds', which turned out to be a misreading of handwritten 'hinds'. Even if I had read it correctly, I would still have had to ask. But there were replies from real second-milers, who didn't merely reply, but answered in extenso, and in one case even with pictures. I have cut-and-pasted the replies into a single file which I will send to interested children and grand-ditto. I recommend "Re: What is a hurd?" as fascinating reading for any Listers who missed it. It cannot be very common for a dumb question to reap such a rich harvest of replies. Thank you again Bruce Dodd Ottawa
