The place is basically round after all. I could come up with places more natural to one group or another but no place sticks out as obvious for everyone or even most people.

Personally, Starkville Mississippi seems like a natural choice to me. Frank -- Frank Peters Internet: fwp1@CC.MsState.Edu Bitnet: FWP1@MsState Phone: (601)325-2942 FAX: (601)325-8921
