“It was like having a new child.” Said 58-year-old Baltimore native Jim Wroten on the return of the NFL to his hometown.
“[It’s] like getting to climb Everest for the first time.” Wrote one Ravens fan living in the United Kingdom when describing his first game at M&T Bank Stadium.
“We decided to make the 1780 mile, 2-day drive across the country.” Said Ted Siomporas on his decision to avoid the airport, but not give up tickets for the Ravens visit to Denver in the months immediately following 9/11.
4,327 days. The time between Art Modell’s historic announcement to leave Cleveland and the first game of the 2007 regular season just down I-71 in Cincinnati. In the nearly twelve years in between, Baltimore’s first round draft picks have made a combined 32 Pro Bowls, the Ravens have made the playoffs 4 times, won two AFC North titles and Super Bowl XXXV. However the most impressive feat has not occurred on the field, but rather in the stands, parking lots, bars, restaurants, living rooms, basements, high school locker rooms, office hallways and in front of computer screens around the country and across the oceans. In just more than a decade since RavensNation was founded, the fan base has flourished and now stands tall amongst the United Nations of the NFL, side by side with representatives from Steeler Country, The Dawg Pound, The Black Hole, and The Cheeseheads of Green Bay.
The show of support is not a surprise given the history of football in Baltimore and the swift success the team has had, but it may not have been expected this soon. After all, their primary color is purple. The only other NFL team to include the regal pigment in their complexion is the Minnesota Vikings, and they’ve never won a Super Bowl. The royal hue has worked extremely well in the NBA (Lakers), NHL (Avalanche), and Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), but not on the gridiron. That is until the Ravens rolled over the Giants in Tampa Bay, sparking a sudden surge in the sale of purple camouflage pants around the world.
So how did it happen? How did purple turn potent? How did Baltimore Colts fans learn to love again? How did a retired Naval Officer become a defensive captain? How did a group of supposed soccer hooligans in the UK learn to love an American football team playing in the US? How did a family from Hawaii learn to love Ray Lewis? How will the Internet determine who follows the Ravens in the future? How did all of this happen in just 4,327 days? I’ll tell you how…
The Classic
Name: Jim Wroten
Age: 58
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Current Residence: Baltimore, MD
You probably know Jim Wroten, or at least a Jim Wroten. Jim grew up in Baltimore in the 1950’s and 60’s. Jim was a Colts fan his whole life and was ready to bestow his love of Johnny U and the white and blue to his son. But when Adam Wroten was just three years old, the Colts left town. Jim was devastated. He continued to work at the post office, support his family, and feigned interest in other NFL teams, but there was a void left behind by those Mayflower trucks.The “Montana Effect” consumed his son, as the younger Wroten rooted for the 49ers along with the rest of the country in the 1980’s. Meanwhile, Jim’s allegiance would not waiver. As some fans found solace in watching the Redskins, Jim took it upon himself to write the NFL and tell them how upset he was that he was being forced to watch the team he had rooted against for so many years. Surprisingly, the NFL wrote back, apologizing for the way Jim felt, but added that showing the Redskins on TV gave them good ratings, apparently unaware of the collateral damage they were causing to former Colts fans.
Everything changed on November 6th, 1995. “It didn’t matter who was coming,” Said Jim on the news that the NFL was indeed returning to Baltimore. “I would be a fan [of the new team], and Adam wouldn’t have much choice either.” Now father and son are able to enjoy Baltimore football together, just as Jim imagined they would. Their season tickets are way up high in section 525, and despite sore knees from the years spent walking his postal route, Adam asserts that his Dad has never complained about the hike to “God’s Country”.
Of course Jim not only embodies the quintessential Baltimore football fan, he personifies what it means to be from Bawlmore. He didn’t want to get a team the way Baltimore lost their Colts. He would have preferred one of the expansion teams in 1993. When asked about his favorite player, his response is simply, “The Defense”. And not because of their dominance or because their highlights routinely make their way into “Jacked Up” on ESPN. No, Jim Wroten likes the defense because they illustrate how a group of individuals can come together as one. Just like all of the other Jim Wroten’s in Baltimore, who come together as one, to root for the Ravens, their second, favorite team.
The Road Warrior
Name: Ted Siomporas
Hometown: Annapolis, MD
Current Residence: Annapolis, MD
Truck driver. Flight attendant. Journalist. Soldier.There are only a handful of professions that can list “see the country” as one of their employee benefits. Not surprisingly, many of these jobs are in the travel industry, so you would expect the chance to see cities like Denver, New Orleans, and Jacksonville. However, thanks in part to the devotion of men like Ted Siomporas, another occupation can be added to the list – Ravens Fan.
Ted has helped to redefine the idea of a Ravens road trip over the past 11 seasons. He attends 2 to 5 away games each year, and over time his experiences have provided plot lines seemingly scripted for the sliver screen, with stories of love, tragedy and hope.
In the fall of 2000, Siomporas and the Annapolis West Ravens Roost knew they picked the perfect place to pre-game along the banks of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, FL. According to Ted, Metropolitan Park is the best tailgate location in the NFL with three large pavilions, a waterfront promenade, and a marina located just minutes from ALLTEL Stadium. Apparently waterfront pavilions are also popular places to get married as Ted stumbled upon a wedding in session before the game. As it turns out, the bride and groom first met at a Ravens tailgate party in Jacksonville the year before and not only did they choose to profess their love to each other outside of the stadium where it all started, but the entire wedding party took in the game as the Ravens gave the newlyweds the wonderful gift of winning, 15-10.
When the 2001 Ravens schedule came out, Ted and his wife were quick to find tickets for the September 30th game in Denver. Their oldest daughter lived in nearby Boulder, CO and they already owned a second home in the Rockies. It appeared to be an easy vacation to plan, with housing covered and a good knowledge of the area. However, tragedy intervened on two separate occasions that would put the trip in jeopardy. The first occurred on September 11th. With the nation in mourning, the NFL suspended action the following weekend and the fate of future games was in doubt. The league did resume play two weeks later, but the country’s airports remained chaotic. So Ted, his wife, and a few friends got in their cars and drove to Denver. Seemingly over the major obstacle of getting to Colorado, the first night at their lodge, one of their friends had to be rushed to the hospital due to the combination of a heart condition and the high altitude. Understandably, the eventual 20-13 victory was sweet, but the sight of his friend, fully recovered, being chased by Denver fans that weren’t as thrilled with the outcome of the game, was one to savor.
Halloween weekend 2006 brought hope to Ravens fans after a dominating win over the division-leading Saints, but more importantly, it gave hope to the city of New Orleans. Close to 5,000 Baltimore fans, including Ted and his wife who were returning to The Big Easy after living there twenty years earlier, descended upon the city nearly 48 hours before kickoff. Although the bright lights of Bourbon Street awaited them, the reason for their early arrival was the shining moment of the weekend as Ravens fans volunteered their time to help rehabilitate a home devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The locals were quick to thank and accept the visiting fans in the French Quarter that night, as purple camo pants seemed to blend right in amongst the costumed crowd. And even though the “Ravens Suck” chants picked up steam outside the Superdome on Sunday, it was clear to see that the return of the NFL, the Ravens, and the Siomporas’s was indeed another step on the city’s road to recovery.
The British
Name: UK Ravens
Age: At least 112
Hometown: London, England
Current Residence: Tower of London and throughout the United Kingdom
The obvious question is “how?” How did a group of football fans in the UK become, well, football fans? And why do they root for the Ravens?There are many answers, but the oldest seems to date back more than 100 years. According to British historians, ravens – the actual birds, not Ray, Ed, and Sizzle – began inhabiting the Tower of London in 1895. And according to legend, removal of the birds was thought to result in the fall of the tower and the downfall of the entire Kingdom. By that reasoning, you would expect a statue of Ray Lewis to be erected in Trafalgar Square and an act of Parliament to add a stripe of purple to the Union Jack.
Well despite the lack of national attention paid to our Charm City Footballers (sounds like a good soccer club name, right?) a patriotic few have joined together to support the Ravens and prevent the fall of England. Their reasoning is a bit more conventional.
Many of the nearly 20 group members point to a familiar date in team history for the start of their fandom – January 28th 2001. The Super Bowl is broadcast around the world and a few channel surfers in the early morning hours of what was already January 29th in London, stumbled upon a show of dominating defense, live from some far off place called Tampa Bay. They had been casual observers of the NFL before, but this style of play was something new. Joe Montana, Barry Sanders, and Walter Payton were all known in England for their scoring prowess, but in Super Bowl XXXV, the 11 men on the others side of the line were taking center stage. To a country that counts rugby as its second favorite activity on the pitch, this was now a sport worth watching. Ray Lewis and company had reeled them in – from 4,418 miles away.
Additional reasons for the group’s attraction to the Ravens include: a visit to Washington DC; a vacation to Ocean City; an online date with a man from Baltimore; and more than one UK Raven pointed to a video game as the source of their affection. In the mold of “Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson” and “Madden Michael Vick” the Ravens Defense is a highly sought after choice, especially among defensive minded gamers. Not surprisingly, in the soccer-crazed culture of the UK, where nil-nil finals are commonplace, defense rules the day. So when deciding on which team to pick amongst the 31 ‘foreign’ cities, Baltimore and their 90+ defensive ranking was always a favorite amongst the footie fans.
As realistic as PS3 might be, a more important question could be how do these fans stay fans? There are numerous magazines, American and British websites, and even a few games broadcast live each Sunday courtesy of Sky Satellite TV. But the most fascinating technique flies in the face of the information superhighway. “A number of us subscribe to a DVD provider called Pontel that sends us the Ravens game every week on DVD.” Says Simon Beames, UK Raven of the year in 2003. According to Beames, the DVD usually arrives on Friday, but he typically ends up watching it for a second time on Sunday before putting on one of his five Ravens jerseys, purple camo pants, matching Ravens socks and boxers and settling in at his computer to follow that day’s game ‘live’ on NFL.com. Mr. Beames, Her Majesty's Armed Forces salute you.
The RVNSGRL
Name: Stephanie Bjork
Age: 35
Hometown: Joppatowne, MD
Current Residence: Reston, VA
It’s date night. A first date. Time to paint your fingernails. Give yourself a pedicure. Pick out this season’s new outfit. Top it off with a purple boa and head out of the house for a night to remember. And when you arrive at your romantic rendezvous, make sure to pull out the coolers and lawn chairs – it’s time to tailgate!Stephanie Bjork recalls that although this particular relationship didn’t quite work out, her favorite date of all time was at a Ravens/Eagles preseason game in 2006. Her preparation for the big night, however, was the same as any gameday, whether she’s watching her beloved Ravens at the stadium, at Mother’s in Federal Hill, or at her mother’s house in Joppatowne. “I paint my fingernails and toes purple from the start of the season to the finish.” Says Bjork. “And each year I wear a different player’s Jersey – I have to spread the love. I’d really like to wear Stover’s this year – he’s brought us through so many rough patches!”
Stephanie has witnessed Stover’s heroics in person, but for the most part, she’s had to follow his footsteps from Virginia and Alabama. The Maryland native watched the Colts leave Baltimore and when the NFL returned, she celebrated in The Heart of Dixie. But following the new franchise was tough and apart from a few nationally televised games, she relied on play-by-play from her Mom who would be watching back in Maryland. The long distance color commentary did more than just keep her up to date on the purple and black as she admitted, “The Ravens kept me close to home at a time when I was very homesick.”
Now living in the heart of ‘Skins country – even her roommate Elaine prefers burgundy to purple – Stephanie still finds ways to root for her Ravens. She makes sure to watch every Ravens related show on MASN throughout the season and drives her RVNSGRL-plated car to the local watering holes in Reston to cheer them on. And despite her allegiance to the team from Baltimore, the locals at the bar have learned to respect the girl who can go head-to-head with them on Colts and Ravens trivia. Her finest hour came when the Ravens shut out the Steelers last season, but the victory wasn’t the most memorable moment to emerge from the 27-0 masterpiece, rather it was the congratulatory embrace she received from a Steelers’ fan at the bar. As ESPN has taught us, “Without sports, that wouldn’t be disgusting.” But purple and yellow just don’t mix in the AFC North or Northern Virginia - I wouldn’t expect a second date anytime soon.
The Iron Fan
Name: Steve LaPlanche
Age: 54
Hometown: Glen Burnie, MD
Current Residence: Pasadena, MD
In 1956, at the age of 3, Steve LaPlanche attended his first NFL game when his father took him to Memorial Stadium to see their family friend, Johnny Unitas, and the Baltimore Colts. In the 50 years since, Steve has attended every single NFL regular season game played in Baltimore. I repeat. Fifty years. Every game.Twenty-eight seasons of Colts football and now an 11-year run following the Ravens has earned Steve recognition from other fans, the media, the organization, Sports Illustrated and even EA Sports as the epitome of an NFL devotee. But his consecutive game streak is not what Sports Steve – a nickname that has stuck since 1975 – is most commonly known for. Sports Steve is the dude with the beads.
For up to seven hours at a time, Steve will wear nearly 50 pounds of decorative beads, along with a custom made cape, gloves, and face paint to show support for his beloved Ravens. He continues to add two sets of beads each game, which he now makes himself. Of course the beads not only attract attention from the cameras panning the stands in the end zone, but the TSA as well. Concerned about checking a bag that would appear quite suspicious under an x-ray, and to avoid the $50 heavy bag fee, Steve drove to Tennessee last year for the Ravens/Titans game. Although he won’t be driving to San Francisco this season for Baltimore’s battle in the Bay Area, he will be sure to call the airline ahead of time to let them know that Sports Steve is on his way.
So why does he do it? Why does he wear the wardrobe, attend every game and never leave early, sign autographs for kids on Ravens Walk, take pictures with anyone who will ask, participate in Ravens Roost events, host a charity Polar Bear Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics, talk to the media, visit training camp, campaign for Art Modell to be in the Hall of Fame and even include a “Go Ravens!” at the end of the voice mail message on his personal cell phone?
Maybe it was because he was there. According to the book, When The Colts Belonged To Baltimore, by William Gildea, Steve was at the Colts Training Complex in Owings Mills the night the Mayflower took his team away. Standing in the snow, LaPlanche watched the movers, as he says, “like thieves in the night”. As reported in the The New York Times, Robert Irsay claimed that one of the reasons he moved the Colts to Indianapolis was “dwindling fan support” in Maryland. Sports Steve won’t let anyone ever think that about Baltimore fans again.
“I am so passionate about Baltimore football,” said LaPlanche. “I want to keep the passion going, I want the passion to grow.” And judging by the growth in ‘passion’ around his neck, I think its safe to say the Ravens are here to stay.
Pac-Fam
Names: Tommy, Emily, and Evan Lee
Ages: 27, 27, 18 months
Hometown: Oahu/Maui, HI
Current Residence: Issaquah, WA
According to the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, “Hawaii is like no other place on Earth.” The birthplace of surfing, the hula and Chef Roy Yamaguchi, the islands of Hawaii elicit a spirit of tranquility and freedom like no other place on the planet. (The perfect weather and the Macadamia Nut Encrusted Mahi-Mahi at Roy’s restaurants throughout the islands don’t hurt either.) Hence, it is no surprise to learn that despite not having an NFL franchise, the citizens of Hawaii feel comfortable and at peace with simply selecting one of the 32 teams in the league to call their own.“Being from Hawaii you basically get a free pass to pick a team to cheer for since we don't have an NFL team.” Says Tommy Lee, a native of Oahu, who now lives with his wife and child in Washington State. The couple found peace with the Ravens while living in the islands, and their love of the team has only grown in the years that followed. “My wife and I really liked the work ethic of Ray Lewis, and it just kind of snowballed from there.” Of course Ray has made his fair share of visits to the Aloha State – he’s been named to the Pro Bowl 8 times – so its safe to assume that more than a few football fans from the 50th state to join the Union cheer in unison for #52.
Tommy and his wife Emily remained Ravens fans when the couple crossed the Pacific into ‘hawk country after a move to the mainland. Their new hometown – Issaquah, WA – sits just 16 miles to the east of Seattle, and they’ve watched the Seahawks gain popularity since the 2005-06 season when the team made its inaugural trip to the Super Bowl. Having a hometown team, however, hasn’t altered their allegiances or their wardrobe. Tommy and his family still stand tall in their purple and black in the Emerald City, as even their 18-month old son Evan wears a Ray Lewis jersey on Sundays.
As a clear indication of where their loyalties stand, the Lee’s skipped town during last year’s playoffs while Seattle was engulfed in another potential run at the Super Bowl. They were more interested in the game being played on the other side of the country, as the couple attended their first Ravens game in person when Baltimore faced Indianapolis in the Divisional Playoffs. They caught glimpses of Brian Billick walking into the Stadium, saw Cal Ripken Jr. on the field before kickoff, and unfortunately, got a real good look at Peyton Manning and the eventual Champion Colts. “[I] lost my voice, but all in all it was a great time, despite the loss.” Presumably Tommy was referring to the game, not his voice, but he is looking forward to another chance at glory in 2007, this time on a field a little closer to home.
On December 23rd the Ravens will visit Seattle for what should be a pivotal match in determining the playoff picture in both conferences. Tommy expects a few friendly wagers at his office, but he already has an advantage over his coworkers thanks to growing up in paradise. The Aloha Spirit is an actual law on the books in Hawaii and the philosophy declares, “The Aloha Spirit elevates, empowers and enables its people.” I don’t know if the philosophers had the NFL in mind, but the spirit is certainly strong in Tommy and will be visible for all to see, “You know we'll be there in our purple camos and jerseys!”
The Captain
Name: Wes Henson
Age: 56
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Current Residence: Waldorf, MD
After 24 years of service in the Navy, Wes Henson wasn’t anticipating a return to duty. And he certainly didn’t expect the request to come from a child. But when RavensNation called, Senior Chief Henson was ready to once again serve his country with honor.A devoted fan since the NFL returned to Baltimore in 1996, Wes began his ascension in rank when the Ravens made their franchise debut against the Oakland Raiders. His wardrobe in those early years included a throwback to his military experience - army fatigues - as well as a simple black t-shirt that read “Defense”. The outfit would seem to blend in amongst a sea of purple and black, but one young girl happened to notice Henson and asked, “Are you’re the captain of the defense?” An innocuous question stewing in the mind of a child, but the answer would lead to a Hall of Fame career.
Henson began to enhance his game day uniform after that encounter in order to fit this new persona, and by the 2000 season, “Captain Defense” stood tall in his Ravens captain’s hat and purple pompom epaulets. The Captain started to gain notoriety amongst Ravens fans tailgating in the parking lots and in the stands. Eventually, the media took notice, with stories about Captain Henson appearing in The Washington Post, USA Today, and on CNNSI.com. Of course the added attention to the commanding officer of RavensNation coincided with Baltimore’s Super Bowl run, but the recognition was not limited to the 53 men on the field in Tampa.
In 2002, Henson was rewarded for his service with an induction into the “Visa Hall of Fans” (now called the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association) at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. At the time, Visa sponsored the promotion and each year selected NFL enthusiasts from around the league that demonstrated outstanding team support. Henson received a plaque inside the shrine and took part in a parade through the streets of Canton. Of course, the home of the Hall is just 60 miles to the south of Cleveland and as Henson remarked, “They didn’t really care much for a Ravens fan.” Understandable, but Wes did befriend one Brownie backer – The Big Dawg of the famed “Dawg Pound” – and now returns to Canton each year to perform charity work along with the rest of the ultimate fans from around the country.
In a testament to the tenacity of RavensNation, Henson was neither the first, nor the last Ravens fan to receive this distinction. The first to represent the Charm City in Canton was Matt “Fan Man” Andrews. Andrews was recognized in part for his “12th Man Van”, which in actuality was an Astro Van painted purple and signed by members of his Ravens Nest, the media, players and even Johnny Unitas. After Andrews and Henson a third Raven was honored by Visa; Dale Davis, “The Ravens Maniac”. Davis could be considered a disciple of Andrews, as it was the “Fan Man” who first inspired him to put on some purple and white make-up and make a splash at a “#1 Fan” contest at their office. Dale added a some purple feathers and a pair of custom-made purple leather boots to his repertoire and transformed himself into “The Maniac” he is today.
In all, Andrews, Davis, and Henson comprise an elite unit of faithful fans that have helped put Baltimore football on par with the perennial powers of NFL fandom. From Mile High to The Frozen Tundra; from The Spiking Viking to the Packalope; Captain Defense and company have given their Ravens an imposing 12th man in the battle to make it back to the Super Bowl. And no one wants to wind up in Arizona more than Henson as he watched SB XXXV from the ESPN Zone at the Inner Harbor, despite having a ticket for the big game. Henson stayed behind with a friend who was in the hospital with a life-threatening ailment. Thankfully, his friend made it through okay and Henson was able to watch his Ravens win with a clear conscious. To honor such gallantry, the fans of this great Nation of Ravens can only hope the call comes through for Captain Defense to report for duty in Glendale next February.
Fan 2.0
Name: You
Age: All
Hometown: The World
Current Residence: Your Hard Drive
I was born at the crack of the 1980’s and as a result, I grew young with Nickelodeon, MTV and ESPN at my fingertips – although the remote control was still a few years away. My point is that I was able to experience sports and entertainment like my parents and their parents could never imagine. If I wanted my MTV or my Oakland A’s scores, (Mark McGwire was still the All American Hero at that point), I could have it. I didn’t have to wait until the morning paper to find out who won the big game. I didn’t have to watch the game live to see the best plays. And as my Bash Brother reference alludes to, I didn’t even have to root for my local team. I grew up in New Jersey a fan of the OAKLAND A’s, DALLAS Cowboys, CHARLOTTE Hornets and SYRACUSE University athletics.
Now more than 25 years later, a new dawn is rising over the world of sports, one that is not being played on the field, but rather, is playing out on the World Wide Web. Welcome to Web 2.0 - the mix of media and the masses. In 2006, the Time Magazine Person of the Year was You. Yes, you. And as Lev Grossman wrote in his story about why You deserved such an honor, “It's…about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before.” The convergence of broadband access at home and on your phone, coupled with the growth of citizen media (i.e. blogs) and social networking websites (i.e. MySpace) has given sports fans the ability to not only read about their favorite teams year round, but they are now the ones providing the commentary.
Standing on the front lines, or rather sitting in coffee shops with their laptops, are the bloggers. These citizen journalists spend their nights and weekends providing witty remarks about their team, the competition, their fantasy roster, their theories about LOST, what plays the team should start using more, who they should take in the draft, why the back-up quarterback is ready to start, who will replace Bush in ‘08 and the reason their team deserves more respect from the rest of the blogosphere. I stand guilty as charged, but I’m not the only one. Recently, The Sports Business Journal included two “bloggers” in their list of the 20 Most Influential People in Online Sports (Bill Simmons of ESPN Page 2 and Will Leitch of Deadspin).
The birthplace of the sports blogger lies buried in the message boards and forums now standard on most fan-focused websites. The ability to share your thoughts on the sports topic of the day, and then have a virtual conversation with your peers gave rise to these new stars of cyberspace – members whose postings were anticipated and sought after. Many citizens of RavensNation, including a few of the fans profiled in this story, point to a now defunct message board moderated by The Baltimore Sun – at SunSpot.net– as the writing pool in which they first dipped their virtual feet. The friends they made and the ‘friendly conversations’ they had helped galvanize an online community still active today on multiple Baltimore fan sites – including the newest nest for these fans to gather in the forums section of the Ravens official website.
The shining stars of Web 2.0 – MySpace and YouTube – have also played a large role in the emergence of Fan 2.0. MySpace – considered the epicenter of the social networking movement – has 38 active groups dedicated to the Baltimore Ravens. These groups, in turn, have thousands of members that all choose to label themselves as Ravens fans on their personalized home pages. Simultaneously, the growth of YouTube has allowed fans to create their own music videos that pay tribute to the purple and black, which they in turn post on their MySpace page. This cyber cycle has resulted in the creation of more than 260 Ravens related videos on YouTube alone.
Of course the power of the Internet in cultivating a fan base is still not entirely clear. Grossman admits that Web 2.0 is still a “massive social experiment”. Regardless, what is certain is that Ravens fans are now able to blog, post, comment, review, critique, support, second guess, predict, research, rant and rave about what the team will do both on and off the field. And with the popularity of the NFL keeping pace with the technological revolution, it’s evident that being a fan has become a 24-7-365 pursuit. All that’s required is an Internet connection, the desire to participate, and a passion preferably for the men in purple. But all opinions are welcome on the new Web, just be prepared for replies, comments, reviews, critiques, support, second guessing and above all else, an open conversation with the citizens of RavensNation.
