Hi John,  Enjoyed your story.  As you can tell from having visited here, we
like trees pretty well.  So, buckeyes grow up to be horsechestnuts?  I
always wondered what buckeyes were, never knew they were seeds.  I thought
they were peanutbutter and chocolate, that's what a teacher at the school
where we worked called buckeyes.  Thanks, Ruth
