961136 Hi there, thanks for adding me back. I was interested in adding you because:

1. Your name is Becky and my name is Becky (Incidentally, are you really a Rebecca? My name is really & truly "just" Becky, and I'm always on the lookout for other "just" Beckys) and

2. You know Kim Bridgford. I know Kim Bridgford too! She was my mentor when I was an undergrad at Fairfield University, and I utterly revere her.

Did you go to Fairfield U.?
