Randy, Remember you can always throw an evening Ball,instead,and write a quadrille. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of research and writing about Virginia history [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Randy Cabell Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 3:35 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VA-HIST] Quadra- Quad- 4-by- 400- Thanks again to everybody who submitted suggestions for the name of my march. Tetrahekaton certainly takes the cake as an attention-getter. It does sound like a prescription that "ask your doctor if you need....", but then again it sounds like one of the Super Heros.... THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR TETRAHEKATON!!!!! I am now digesting the suggestions for simplicity and though a bit presumptive, I think maybe. "THE Jamestowne March" is the way to go. I think I'll just submit the thing to the Foundation, and suggest they pick a name.
