P.S. - Not only from the same state but the same region of it, too.

Look: Buckeye Do children play a game with them, where you make a hole and thread string through and try to hit someone else's conker till it breaks? _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.

Registered: Fri Aug 25 2006 Posts: 2 Loc: ohio	Jarsma63, I just had to say hi to you since I got to look around your area about 20 years ago when my sister and I got to come up to Michigan and visited the Kalamazoo County Fair. We had a good time and still talk about that trip.
