P.O. Box 500, Staunton VA 24401. Wow, my home town! (Pronounced as if the 'u' weren't there, by the way -- the legend is that it was named for Lady Cady Stanton, and the name was misspelled.) I even know the person who probably designed it (he was, and still is, as far as I know, chief designer for American). Unfortunately, he's not the sort of person I feel comfortable telling where I recently saw a hearty recommendation of one of his products. I know, probably no one else cares, so back to lurking... stephanie ga.smf@forsythe.stanford.edu ga.smf@stanford.bitnet
