I stand corrected. By the way, I didn't attend GU after high school because I didn't want to be associated with them. I think I felt how you did and my oral skills. I have been told by jillio (don't tell her I told you) that my speech is a ringer that I'm deaf. And, believe it or not, I occasionally stumble over words in trying to pronounce them. I was at the bank today and did a whopper in front of the personal banker, who knew what I needed.
