It must have been a church for the Portugese immigrants to that area from the 1700's. The people there were very friendly and I kept going there until I was assigned to my ship some months later.

Great story Pat!

You're right, Ed. Congrats on being one of the few people I've known who knows the correct name for a Cavalry Scout.

^ That was mentioned in a film I've seen recently. I remember it now. Can't remember the film! Great saying though.
