Touche, Perry.... but.....I must tell you that when someone here saw a photograph of the person who has now become my son in law, he exclaimed, "Oh! He is an American American!" But now that I muse over my sentence...I meant, she married an American citizen because "all Indians are brothers and sisters"...so I did mean, by citizenship, not about what colour he was. Deepa.
