Hello to Don Rosa and all other list-members,

Well, in that case I meant Lo$ 10B or Lo$ 11' or whatever is
the right formula to identify the period 1902-1930, before the
big break-up. And I saw that break-up as the outcome of a
gradual process of loosing contact: Hortense and Matilda's
detest of $crooge's greed grows and $crooge spends years of
travelling around the world and doing business without his
sisters. That's what I meant. But maybe this wouldn't make a
very interesting subject for Lo$-B-stories. I don't know.
Will Sir Quackly's ghost ever turn up again? I liked him a lot,
too.
Bye,
Michiel Prior.
