Miscellaneous #13:  Keeping Up With The Joneses

The 30 most common last names in the United States (from 1990 Census data) are hiding across, down, backwards, and diagonally in the grid.  Note: "Martin" will not be found within "Martinez."   Visit www.infoplease.com sometime for interesting facts on census data and a plethora of other subjects.  Once you find all the words, the remaining letters will spell out a quote about the puzzle.  Print out and enjoy!

*Note: This puzzle was originally created using the Word Search Construction Kit instead of by hand like I normally do.  After some thought, I decided to post it for everyone's enjoyment.  Check out the great WSKit program if you want to make your own word searches for educational purposes, newsletters, or any other reason!
