Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi Gloria- My husband was in a band in high school and college called Ahimsa. He even has it tattooed on his leg. Needless to say, all of the members were into animal rights. Whitney --- MaryAnne Crites <suzyq_26201 wrote: > Hi Gloria, > I am in West Virginia.
