Same here. WVa schools taught the anglo-saxon history we all learned. I
meant people on this list and those studying early cultures with my remark.
We really know so little. That skeleton they found up in Washington state
was a caucasian. I become perturbed when people act as if they have the
final word on any of these things on the list. This area of study seems
pretty wide open to me. Take care. Rick
