Zach, on another subject, you saw that Spring Hill is finally being developed and sub-divided. I’m thinking they are going for huge residences like the homes near Templeton, on Dupont Ct.

There's also a 1996 book "Wind of the Fish's Tail" you might look at.

One of my relatives was on his way back to St Mark's when the storm flooded his train. Dead people were floating by and all he could think was, "Father is going to be so upset that I've ruined my new suit!"
