Hi Ruth,

-> went to the one Indian place several families wandered in while we were
-> there.  I think one group was visiting the area; after they ate, they

 RH> I don't know either, but this area seems to have attracted
 RH> professional families.

Not surprising, and they like to eat what they are familiar with.  We
went into a Moe's Southwestern Grill last night & then walked out and
over to Chili's.  Moe's was more of a do it yourself place; I wanted a
sit down meal.  Steve was wearing a shirt from our church in HI; the
greeter at Chili's spotted it and said she used to be  member also.

-> Must have been some obscure musical event or you had an off the wall
-> music teacher as it's not a common language in the Northeast.

 RH> Not a common language anywhere but the Philippines.  In my case, it
 RH> was a Sunday School thing.  ...but I did have some off the wall music
 RH> teachers a time or two.

We didn't--had the same couple for music until they left after my
freshman year in high school.  She taught vocal, elementary school and
some instrumental; he taught the rest of the instrumental and did the
school band.  After that we had a rag tag assortment until I graduated;
don't know if it improved in later years.


->  RH> No "this is a KNIFE" Cocodile Dundee blades for you, then?

-> No, just something I can carry in my purse without giving me a wrenched
-> shoulder. (G)

 RH> That's why I stopped carrying the Gerber; my suitcase/gig bag weighs 5
 RH> pounds without it!

Mine's probably about that.


-> BTW, you referred to your grandfather a couple of weeks ago as a "dog
-> faced soldier" and I asked if he was in the 3rd Infantry Division (ID);

 RH> All GIs were called dog-faces back then, or if not then after the War.
 RH>  He was in a New York machine gun outfit that used the Statue of
 RH> Liberty as the unit badge.  I think it was a combination of the unit
 RH> being from the City, and so many of the soldiers being immigrants.

OK, I knew it was a common name but it also got attached to a specific
division.  His must be one of the no longer exsisting divisions; I'd
have to check thru archives to find out the exact one.


 RH> Grandpa was born in what's now Poland, although it was Russia then.

My great grandfather came from a part of Germany that's now a part of
Poland--fairly near Berlin.
