Ann Swartz: (any relation to Ray and Emily, now deceased great folks  from J.City who had a daughter named Ann?): 

Another poster calls this "childish sarcasm."  .....that's defined as sarcasm with which one disagrees.  I call it "brilliant and biting sarcasm"....that's sarcasm with which one agrees. 

 If you "that" Ann....hello to you.  If you're not. may I still offer my appreciation for your letter.  Best wishes, Gary Crum
