Hey John babe!  Fancy meeting you here!

I've got one comment to make:  I've successfully introduced
people to each other during my short tenure on the net (1.5
years).  I'm happy to announce the engagement and upcoming
wedding of a couple I introduced a year ago.  He's from
England and is studying at Yale...she's from Idaho and
is currently in France studying (talk about swapping ends
of the globe!)

Anyway, I've got a nice lady - divorced - grown kids -
who would like to meet a nice man.  I think she's about
5'9" tall...but I'm *terrible* on heights...so don't 
quote me.  Blond/Blue.  I really don't know her stats
nor her age...I would guess she weighs about 130 and
is *maybe* 45.  She's been divorced 7 years and has
her own business as well as being into real estate sales.

Marsha
