On Topic: I'm another resident of Maryland or Merlin as we pronounce it here!

Originally from Baltimore.
Off Topic: Rance, I used to go target shooting with my sisters and their husbands up at the slate quarries in the Whiteford area. Whiteford was also the south end of the Ma & Pa Railroad after they abandoned the line south to Baltimore in 1958. I took some track photos (didn't see a train that day) in the Delta, PA area around 1970 when the railroad was still operating to Whiteford.
