Rhonda, Nikki, Marcus,

Thanks for your replies.  There doesn't seem to be a connection from 
what I've been able to track either (though, I'd bet WP would have been 
fascinated with him).

I actually just stumbled across Lonergan myself and it's not like Percy 
had a populated Internet to graze on.. :-)

Best,
Mike
