I haven't spent significant time in Waco since the early '60s, but
quite a bit from the late '30s up till then. Waco was where my dad was
raised and where my grandparents and assorted great aunts and uncles
lived. So, Whacky wasn't my image of Waco, but I can see how it might
be if I'd had your experiences there.

There was another person around here who knew Waco from years back and
even knew the one-block-long street my family's house was on. We had a
brief OT discussion about Waco around the time A1 made his appearance,
which is why I remember where he said he lives.

David, an old pro!
