Please post if/when you receive it.

Biggles Wrote:Back in the 'Burgh, the predominant ethnic groups were Scots-Irish (or Scotch-Irish as we called 'em), Italian, Polish and other East Slavs, Serbs, Croatians and other South Slavs, some Irish (although most stopped in Boston or Philly instead of coming out West). Italians and Eastern Slavs inter-marry quite often, probably because they share the same religion. Serbs and Croats don't mix too well though. Too much history.By 'Burgh, is that meaning Pittsburgh, cause that is where my father is from.
