Lloyd -- Your posting to Fiona Walsh, above, indicates we have something
else in common besides our hybridizing debt to Earl Roberts of Indiana
-- namely, my grandfather, Arthur Breckinridge Crump, was a local
officer (in Indiana) of the Knights of Labor, the pioneering body of the
American labor movement, when it was still a secret organization in the
1870's.
