You are most welcome - Oui, oui, bien sur - the name is French...in honor of my great grandfather whose nickname was Papa' (the emphasis is on the second a - no accent there).

It is so difficult today to admit one's provenance as being French. I have many other nations in my background nottheleast of which is Iroquois Nation Mohawk dating back to the capture of Fort No. 4 Charelstown New Hampshire during the early 1700's.

Which is just down the road a spell from where I grew up - I used to visit Old Fort #4 a lot as a kid. I'm sure I still have some of the musket balls around somewhere...

Fun times...
