Jaqmes, when were you in Louisville? I was born there and lived there until
the last day of 1986 -- MA ( and ABD) at U of L, in English, along with most
iof a degree in Engineering Math and Comp Sci.  I taught freshman comp whike
I was taking freshman calculus.

High school years, during the summer I'd bicycle to the Trappist monastery
in Bardstown where Merton had lived - the monks let me camp out there.
