Subject: Re: doppkit



tim frazer asks about "doppkit". (didn't this go by some years

ago here?) i've used that term, and that term only, since my college

days (and possibly earlier than that). the same for my partner

jacques. (possibly relevant biographical facts: i got my bachelor's

degree in '62, he go his in '64. i grew up outside of reading,

pa., and went to college at princeton. he grew up in central ohio

mostly [gambier, in particular], and went to college at haverford.)



i believe that the name is derived from the name of a company -

Dopp - that made such kits.
