    2. That's funny, Vee. I have one that has stuck with me for years and years. When I can't find something and then finally do find it, I always end up exclaiming, "I've found you, Kunta Kinte!!" :) Lorraine In a message dated 03/06/2005 6:38:29 PM Pacific Standard Time, housman@adelphia.net writes: Dear Folks, Recently I'm aware that on almost a daily basis I think of one of the memorable expressions from old TV programs.

But I sure remember Kunta Kinte from the "Roots" series on TV written by Alex Hailey, a black man who had obviously traced his own family back to Africa to the nth degree. All of us around here were glued to the TV set when the next episode was about to be shown. In fact, it was so important for us not to miss a single episode that in the middle of the Blizzard of '77 the four of us Navy people who were car pooling together and found ourselves cut off from the world by a HUGE snow drift, actually managed to find a nearby bar across Niagara Falls Blvd. where we were able to relax a bit in front of the TV and watch the next episode. Oh yes, I remember Kunta Kinte! vee
