[TenTec] Pittsburgh Christmas Carol

[Carter Grabarczyk]

Well, when I was on special assignment to AT&T in Basking Ridge, NJ and 
running around to various NJ hot spots like Flemington and Peapack, 
people were talking about "tomato poy" (which ultimately translated into 
"tomato pie" which translated to what is known here in the great Midwest 
as pizza). Joisey--ya gotta love it!

73 and Happy New Year,
