Constance Vigilance:

I didn't say that. I think there ARE more WW schools in Europe and 
around the world. The original poster said there is *canonical* proof 
that the five schools he listed were in the locations he indicated. I 
was quibbling with the claim of canonical proof of location. We have 
no such proof, only strong indicators. And we don't even have *proof* 
that there is a school in New England, although I think there 
probably is.

Thanks to those who pointed out the canonical proof that there *is* 
at least a school in Brazil.
