on."

retrieve my account or upload, then said they no longer owned the domain
name registration--sounds like an investment bank, doesn't it?"

I'm in the the strange position of being "there" (was at Radford
the last 2 yrs. before graduating, graduated high up in the Class of 64),
but I was so busy studying (and doing things to get into college), but not
knowing anyone. I must have been a ghost, too, 'cause not too many people
knew me."
