No Mark,

I'm not one of those leek eating, daffodil wearing, rugby playing,  
slate mining, sheep farming Welsh. My grandparents emigrated to the  
US from the balmy steppes of Russia about 1900. Think "Fiddler on the  
Roof." But I did occupy the Unilever Chair at the University of Wales  
- Bangor for a number of years and lived in Menai Bridge on the  
island of Anglesey. My livingroom window framed a beautiful view of  
the Snowdonia mountains over the Menai Strait. The area is almost  
like Gee Bee pictures it except that it has more hills and a few palm  
trees along the shoreline.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was my secret mistress. Don't tell my wife.
