WASHINGTON (AP) - Prince Charles received the warmest public welcome so far of his U.S. tour Thursday, mingling with more than 1,000 cheering students at Georgetown University - and even signing a softball.

Arriving for a seminar on faith and social responsibility, Charles spent 15 minutes talking to students and staff who craned over barricades to catch a glimpse of him - offering handshakes to many and a rare autograph on a proffered softball to one young man.
Many in the crowd yelled ``Prince Charles!'' as he approached - one woman adding, ``Where's William?''

MICHAEL McCAFFERTY comments:

I am delighted that Prince Charles and Camilla are be given such a warm friendly welcome in the USA. As one who believes the British Monarchy is an important part of our Canadian way of life I am pleased that Prince Charles and Camilla are getting good media coverage but more important they are being warmly received by the American public.

I do hope Prince Charles and Camilla visit Canada in the not too distant future.
