Well, of course, I did, too, but I lost it for a spell while in college 
and just after.  As you know, Emory is full of New Yorkers who didn't 
make it into Harvard, and I later worked at a computer firm where I was 
the ONLY Southerner...almost everyone was from NY, NJ, and MA...there 
was one guy, Louis, who introduced me to Lacrosse and was funny as 
hell...Louis was from Wisconsin, the first person I ever met from that 
state.  I lost my accent to the point that people would ask me where I 
was from..they thought I was from the Midwest. (And by the way folks, 
those around here consider Colorado the Midwest...places like Ohio and 
Illinois are "up north" :)
