- I was puzzled by the first inquiry and thought, "Of course it is the
- same Charisma". But then I saw Alison's post and realized that there
- was another famous Charisma. The Charisma referred to in the story was
- "THE" Charisma famous in the hunter/jumper world. He was a national
- champion hunter shown by George Lindemann. Funny how a single sentence
- means two completely different things to two people depending upon their
- individual experiences/knowledge.
