[Publib] best reference question ever

[Paul-Andre Bempechat]

This is indeed priceless.  It reminds me of a conversation during intermission
at the Pitti Palace in Florence, when a lady from NYC had asked me if I'd ever
heard of the Gelateria Vivoli, allegedly Florence's then-most celebrated.  When
I confessed my ignorance, she responded: "No problem finding it: it's behind a
church."

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

"The only guide to a man is his conscience.  The only shield to  his memory is
the rectitude and sincerity of his actions.  It is very imprudent to walk
through life without this shield, because we are so often marked by the failure
of our hopes, but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march
always in the ranks of honour."

- Sir Winston Churchill
