What I wanted to do was take a field that normally returns an integer and be able to call to_s on it and do a lookup and return the string equivalent.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
