Thank you for including me in the loop!

-"Thinker Bill" :-)

William Bostock Hackett, III

descendant of the Hacketts and Bostocks and Wrights of
Breedon-on-the-Hill near Derby in Leicestershire.

(Now a Freethinker, an Emerson Unitarian in Santa Barbara-by-the-Sea,
California)

As Tiny Tim said, "God Bless us, Every One!" :-)
