Julia Schonborn and Mary Krauss got their wish - a cottage on Eel Bay.
Al and Tony happily suffered through comforts, however.

Young Mr. Laux prepares W1445 for his dad, Brian. Before I forget, it was Brian who told us a great story that he found in a medical journal:  See exchange below:

No, it's with a "C"
 
But there's a cute story about that:
 
A doctor who worked in a welll-baby clinic picked up the next chart and noted that he was about to see a baby named "Krik". So he goes in and introduces himself to the mother and of course says, "So how's Krik doing today?" 
The mother replied, somewhat frostily:  "His name is 'Eric'". 
The doctor checked the chart again, and then apologized, saying, I'm sorry, the chart says "Krik".  There must have been an error; I'll have it corrected. 
The mom then replied: "No, my sister told me you could spell Eric with a 'K', so I did."
 
If I told that story at the rally, and I suspect that I might have given your question, please make allowances for the fading memory of an aging man.
