If the person asked for "Mr. REE-viss" we knew he/she had never been around the family before. If the name was pronounced the same as we did (rhymed with "crevice") then it was obviously someone who knew us! <g> JS -- ____________________________ James Shuman, art instructor Modesto High School [email protected] ____________________________
