What you really need to do is to get us old farts sitting around 
reminiscing and have a tape recorder running. I would have a hard time 
remembering things cold, but get me in a group of other people who were 
there at the time and their memories would trigger more of mine.

As for the origin of the name, Ponte Alto, what Caitlyn has recounted 
seems to be what I remember as well.

Somewhere, I have all of our records for Niall and my term as Baron and 
Baroness and that would refresh my memory even more. However, I'm in the 
middle of deadlines and it may be a while before I can retrieve them and 
look through them.

Another idea might be to try to identify all the arms on the 
"Emancipation Proclamation" and hunt some of those people down.
