I know that ceremony was used again in Schenectady in 1993, and Hartofrd
in 1995, and I don't remember anything of that nature and looking at the
copy I have it's fairly innocous. I know we used it as recently as a
year ago at one chapter, and if there was something I was just blanking
on... it would have come up there. Possibly a re-write occured between
when it was used in Cherry Hill and the copy I have which is from
Schenectady. If you'd like I can get you the copy Ellen and you can tell
me...
