I am really sorry about the misspelling. Please be assured that offending any native Americans would be the very least of my intentions. As a "typical" German I have been a great admirer of Native Americans since childhood. I must admit, I do not know anything about local native American history - which I should. I tried to find your announcement last night, Krys, and couldn't find it on my unorganized computer; so I just sent off the best I could remember - which was pretty bad. I sincerely apologize. Maiken
