In response to #22: " Columbus did not need directions -

neither do we! " I just want to point out that dear old

was in a quest to sail to India and, in fact, had thought that he had

reached the Indian Subcontinent. Hence the name " Indians " for the

American Natives. Had no idea he was in Santo Domingo and indeed

quite far from his Calcutta!! Please, do us a favor. Just ask. :~)
