Thank you very much, cinnamon, and the rest of you for such informative and moving stories. Cinnamon, feel free to post any pictures you like. I hope you know we're all friends and family here. I just thought it would be nice to know the story behind the name. How about another idea? Feel free to post a picture of yourself. It can be a self portrait or just a snapshot. Here is my contribution. It's a collage I mage with Microsoft PictureIt. This one is small because I can't find the larger one right now. This picture depicts my wonderful life, with my blushing bride, our "furry family," and computers, my "other love and passion." Ron
