--- End quote ---

I just want to clarify this.  Yesterday when I Googled the old saying about taking the boy out of the country to find it\'s origin I found that my interpretation of the saying may be very different than others.
I always figured the boy would yearn for the country life even if taken out of it, like I would assume an animal that was captured and put in a zoo would yearn to be back in it\'s natural wild environment.
The search told me that it basically means a country boy would be a \"hick\" in the city...or something like that.  
Paul Simon said \"my lack of education hasn\'t hurt me none\" and I just want all to know my post was to say I understand the Muenks yearning for the country.  As John Denver said...\"Thank God I\'m a country boy!\".  Cole Porter wrote it and Roy Rogers sang \"Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above...Don\'t fence me in\".
