Opposite of charon I guess. Unless I found a THIRD player. My player is a former MLB player and his initials are two of those letters. *hint* He's not famous so..... looks like a third party. You got him, but even I'd heard of him so I'd think an obit a certainty. Just don't think that a condition that 'may' be fatal, will be. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
