Glad that it worked out, Wardo, and am looking forward to your report on the golf.
As to the voodoo, I can tell you that when I first met Anthony Gray, DDS, GCA, ADD, NGLA... it wasn't 10 minutes before we discovered that his good friend he grew up and went to high school with was also a buddy of mine that I worked with at a golf resort on Hilton Head; close to where you're slumming right now.
Here's one - my wife and Pat Mucci's son graduated in the same class at Verona (NJ) High School. Easy for her to recall, as his name was/is...wait for it...Pat Mucci(Jr)!
