My hometown is:

High Point, N.C  (the highest point on the southern railroad line)

closely nearby are the townships of  Climax and Hornytown.

(BTW growing up in High Point gave me a remarkable sense of balance)

-- in keeping with the spirt of net.bizzare

package Jeff_Bartlett is 
   new Bartlett( email_addr => "mcnc!rti-sel!jb",
                 employer   => "Research Triangle Institute" );

procedure Disclaimer is new Canonical_Disclaimer( others => true );

BTW, look at the syntax charts for Ada Lang. Ref. for 'package_specification'
   it is BIZZARE that header is 'identifer' but the closing designator
   (footer name) can be a more complex 'simple_name'
