[Magdalen] Any place but

Sorry, Rick!  I don't doubt that SA is a wonderful place to live--two of my uncles (one a military retiree, the other a Harte-Hanks newspaper exec) lived there for many years.  I did not find their funerals nor the hoohah surrounding them positive.  May all your experiences of life there and elsewhere continue to be positive.  Don (beat-up in Austin)
