One thing is for certain – I never stop learning! No idea what I am going to do with
all this knowledge though!

Thank goodness for Google, what would I do without it!

"Ogygia is an island mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, Book V, as the home of the nymph Calypso,
the daughter of the Titan Atlas."

I did go to school, honest, it wasn't an approved school either!

Not American really, Baz. Anne McCaffrey was Irish & lived in County Wicklow.

I can only go by what I checked out and perhaps not entirely American she is described as American-Irish so half and half. In which case you are as correct as I am incorrect, or the reverse, whichever way you wish to see it.

"Dragonriders of Pern is a science fantasy series written primarily by American-Irish author Anne McCaffrey, who initiated it in 1967. Beginning in 2003, her middle child Todd McCaffrey has written Pern novels, both solo and jointly with Anne. The series comprises 23 novels and several short stories. "

Yes. 1950. It was quite a change. Fresh air, gardens, and TREES!
