     Hi Pat!
     Thanks for the bit of history on log cabins.  It's nice to know
     why certain colors are used for the center square.
     And I never knew about the other variations.  That's why it's so
     neat to have someone here on the echo with this knowledge at
     their fingertips.
     Now if someone asks for a logcabin, I'll have to ask which
     variation.
