Hello Master R.,

As you know I've been very distracted by some very serious things in the wind and most problematic serious disabling flaring all over that doesn't let me do a lot these days, including computer for more than brief sits, and THAT, or THOSE things, are my apologetic excuses for not replying to you sooner. Sorry!

Very interesting post you did and I will read it again when I can absorb stuff ... and as to me not having seen the B&W, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, as a kid in school. I really can't remember, and I was a grade 9 dropout (unintentional to drop out) and when in school I swung between absolute failure of subjects to A+'s in most subjects, all dependent on what was happening with me wee bitty life I s'pose. School took a back seat often. So again ... maybe I was taught some of that history, but I don't recall. Maybe other Canadians can remember if those things were shown and taught in the 60's and chime in here

What a weird reply, huh? Oh well ... MLU-ers are used to my "strangeness" by now

Karmy
