Just who is this Harry Boswell? Is he more famous for gardening or astronomy? The name rings a faint bell. Or am I thinking of another Boswell? BTW, one of our cats, Mr. Sylvester, snores lightly. It's a far more comforting sound than Erich's, who I always fear will choke. Cheryl Schaefer SchaeferYarns beautiful hand painted fibers schaefer @epix.net Zone 5 in the fabulous Finger Lakes of NY
