In the "It's a small world isn't it department," my sister retired  
and then wound up taking charge of the kitchen at Shadyside  
Presbyterian Church.   She hired an employee.  Rich Hannegan's  
sister!!!!!!!   What do you think those odds are.   I told her that  
Rick, not very long before he walked away from PTM, was instructing  
me as an operator.

Someone will have to remind John Swindler when he comes home that he  
surrogate dad is in photo 15.
