[Magdalen] Cameron, a third grader

[Lynn Ronkainen]

My long time phone number in Houston, a land line, was often mistaken for a 
fax for who knows who... it would ring and ring at odd hours of the night 
and then when we tried calling it back one night at 3am, the sound, upon 
answering, was that hum noise associated with a fax on the other end... 
never figured it out until someone called once asking if we were *ABC 
whomever*  and that they had been trying to fax us.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
