Interesting... Mrs W. is apparently a USC. However, she calls it aluminium.

In this one she calls it aliminuim, which is neither one or the other, does she mean pertaining to Alumni and why do I care?

I have all the details from the driver, his boss, the hospital, the aliminuim..do I have a case? Where should I go from here?
