I just moved from Pennsylvania, USA (near Atlantic) to California, USA (near Pacific). I've also gone from having my surname misspelt (Futter, Suter, Sutler, etc), mispronounced (Soo-ter, most commonly) and generally bent out of shape... to having a surfeit of Sutter. Everything in northern California seems to be named Sutter, thanks to the gent on whose property gold was discovered in 1849. There is a Sutter County, Sutter's Fort, Sutter's Mill, as well as Sutter hospital, countless Sutter streets, and so on, and so on, and so on. The one benefit is that nobody here asks me to spell or pronounce my name. Jordan, are you oft asked of you relation to L. Ron? P.S. Sean, if you know Dru, Dru says hi. Greg -- Gregory S.
