Lisa--
Wonderful post and I hope Access Queen and the Host team get lots of
donations.
As I read your post, the phrase "Host Team" popped out at me. I first
thought I read the words "Hoist" Team--which seems appropriate in light
of the 33 miners!
Then I noticed that OST was the main part of the word HOST. So I saw
some possible word play here. ¿Anybody want to carry this further?
<grin>
