I think you must be a puzzler: crossword, jigsaw, etc.--this from an old
English teacher: suffix "phobe" = "fear of"; suffix "phile" = "loving"; Have
gone from hating the whole damn Gull complex to really trying hard to solve
the puzzle of what our gulls here in the Pacific Northwest are. Sometime ago,
Bob Norton, in Joyce, talked about the hybrids we also have to deal with.

Do you use Harrison or Kaufman or Grant? I'll use all the help I can get.
