P.S. I also need to express my deep thanks to my friends Jack the Sailor and gnu for being my initial guides to the culture of Newfoundland, with some help from ljc mixed in.

Jack the Sailor embodies some of the best of what's great about Newfoundland, and gnu, although being a native of my paternal grandfather's own home province, New Brunswick (a wonderful province in its own right), has a well developed understanding and appreciation of Nfld. culture.

And of course ljc, being a Scott living in Nfld... well, all I can say is, what a combination!
