I was born in Dallas, Texas - raised in South Carolina - have been living\working in Germany for the past 13 1/2 years (I love Germany). I claim South Carolina as my home since most of my family reside there. Just a side note - I have decided to transfer back to the states in 97 - not sure where they will place me - so, next year, I will probably claim a new state. Mark F. Hardy Germany [log in to unmask]
