Yes, actually, the Desjardins part of the family came to the US in the early 19th century from Canada. We honeymooned in Montreal, and were surprised to see how many Desjardins were in the phone book.

I'm guessing you do...) The list only suggests ways to "enable" yourself. You must take responsibility for your actions. Not that I should talk. When I started I had a couple of Spotties, and now I've got the MX, LX, had an MV, and a bunch more lenses. BTW, interesting that your started in New England. That explains the name. Desjardins is very common in Quebec, and many French Canadians have ended up in New England over the years. I've seen lots of French Canadian names in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire, especially. No doubt your family history includes some connection to Canada. cheers, frank "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
