<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear All, I was thinking of the wonderful soil near
Allegheny College, in Western PA, 1/2 hour south of Erie, where my son Greg
went. He loved it! Yes, oil was first discovered in nearby Oil
City. The soil is purpley-brown clay, and the oldest College buildings are
crafted from the bricks made thereof. Wm. McKinley is a famous student of
the College, and he was expelled for putting a cow on the roof of one
building (since the cow could not go downstairs, they had to slaughter it
on the roof. Over a hundred years later they named the snack bar
McKinley's. Linda</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
