[JR: Thanks again. Tickles me to think of Jaspers marrying Jaspers. One would hope that where the offspring go would be a lock. If I were the administration, I'd be sure to give them a lifetime supply of that green kool aid that some of our fellow alums drink. Makes them unable to see any flaws in Alma Mater. Or the folks it graduates. ROFL! No bridges falling down on my watch. Spelling is another story. ]
