ĦĦQuite true!!   Today one of our adjunct faculty returns after bringing
her young daughter home from the hospital yesterday following surgery to
remove a penny which had lodged in her throat at Christmas and had corroded
causing _major_ problems.  I'll get the gory details later today, but she
was one _very_ sick little girl.
