[PRCo] Re: PAT's cuts

[John Swindler]

Speaking of generalities, there are some amazing people in northern Lancaster who have never/almost never stepped foot outside of Lancaster County.  Daughter in law and half her family would be an example.  I suspect Jeannie's mother has never forgiven us for teaching her daughter about "foreign" states and countries.  

But your right Phil - it's an individual sort of thing.  Some are quite content staying local, others have the travel bug, and most of us lie somewhere in between.

Cheers
