.com: ... "SJ" is English--"Society of Jesus." ... [To the proponent and folks interested in fishing: sorry for the thread drift.] ... I almost got it from the "X". The only people I have ever known with the middle name Xavier were clerics of some sort. After my Dad died this spring, Mom told me that they chose my name when they were dating. I was the second child in the family, so the choice of name wasn't motivated by immediate need. ![]() I have met lots of FX's in the Society. My great-uncle Ignatius wanted to be a Jesuit, but they turned him down. oz, Creighton Prep, '57 I did Tertianship down the hill from Creighton U in 1992-93. Nice town. [Tiny nod to the rofb folks:] AH! I fish for bass in my family's pond in Little Valley, NY. There are some bluegills in the pond, too. Someday I'm gonna get a bag of crayfish and see if they'll provide more feed for the bass. The biggest bass we ever caught in the pond was 16". I have his outline on a piece of 2x6" wood. I'm sorry that I let the kid who caught him cook him. Haven't hooked one that big again. ![]() Marty |

I've played both accoustic and electric bass in the far distant past. I had to use bandaids to get through the accoustic gig, but it was fun. ![]() Marty |
