Carol,

Your message should catch Charlie Ewan and/or some otber folks who might
know...however, that plantation does not sound familiar to me. By the way,
Carol, I just finished and mailed off my comment to your chapter of
Cornelius' book. Summary? Good show! Nice web site, too. keep it up.
Advertise a little more...everyone here should be familiar with your web
site and what you are trying to do with it. Best,
