Thanks - I thought it odd that I had to explicitly call this initialize. I went back and took out the call to initialize just to be sure that was what making the difference and it was. So for some reason my SymbolArray>>new is not calling the method unlike all my other ones. If I find that it is something that I've done, I'll be sure to let the forum know.

It can, so I wouldn't conclude so quickly, or cargo-cult this one without some more research. Behavior>>#new calls #initialize, so someone broke the chain between there and your classes of interest by overriding #new without respecting the existing protocol. -- Randal L.
