Cincy Reflexions

[sciroccos at earthlink.net (Jim Ruffi)]

Tony, as I said (don't know if it was to you): Cincy would not have been
complete if you hadn't attended.

Ann, we missed you!  But I do understand the urge to move to a town named
after you.  I also understand Tony's desire to go to the place you are.  I
hope to see you both sometime soon!

Jim
