Hello again,
Thanks for your comments and edits.  I have included your edits and ended the story at the "Which one," line.  I thought about having LaFayette strike back at table of four for the small-minded remarks.  Leaving at "Which one" gives him more credit.  Regarding your comment that more could be done with physical description, are you referring to the cafeteria setting?  If so, I added a desription of the sounds that surround a cafeteria setting and the acoustics of an open and spacious setting.  A byproduct of all this noise is that it provides some additional cover for the cponversations taking place at the far back corner.  I would be glad to send you the section of the story that incorpates this addition, if that is acceptable to your, other than the complete story.  Please let me know, and thanks again.
Dan
