List, 

   Interesting thread, which I will try to slip something LSR related into.
My name,  translated from German, goes along with the family name/occupation
thing.  Rothfuss = red feet.  An appropriate name for a family of tanners.
I don't stomp around on animal hides like my ancestors did, but at Maxton I
do wear the reddest red driving shoes I could find.
