Shannon Faulkner, to answer John Minor's question, was the babe who defeated The Citadel (big-time all-male military acadamy) in their attempt to bar her from enrolling. She freaked out with all the publicity, gained a bunch of weight, and pooped out on her first day at school. The denizens of that school cheered for days when she left, apparently. I heard her interviewed on the radio later, she seemed nice. Benjamin Treuhaft Send a Piana to Havana p.s. thanks for the Rippen thread, folks. I have one of those things, this one is Irish to boot, and the parts are as you describe. Interestingly, those funky parts are made by Renner I am told. The hammers are definitely Renner.
