I'd like to visit, too! I think they also visit the Tokana. So where is Matt these days?? <G> I hope having a fabulous vacation.

Oh, neither have I; I'm sure you're right about the Teonaht National Library, located in Tsorelai Mundya in Eksil Tegriaht, the circle of university learning. Some of the books stray into our libraries and disappear again, much to the rage and frustration of scholars. I have a new Kernu dictionary which emerged in my office recently. I've got it on a chain so that it won't disappear. ;-) Sally scaves@frontiernet.net http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/teonaht.html
