Thank you both that did work, but opened a new issue for me.

When I change the def to_s within the Person class to this (adding the 
@address):

========================================================================
def to_s
    @first_name + " " + @last_name + "\n" + \
    @email + "\n"
    @address
end
========================================================================

I get this "#<Person:0x2b3340c>", is this because the Person class makes 
reference to the Address class, and its the address class has its own 
to_s that prints?  Should I move the @street + "\n" + \, ...etc to the 
Person class from the Address class?


If I change the def a little to this:

========================================================================
def to_s
    @first_name + " " + @last_name + "\n" + \
    @email + "\n"
    @address + "\n"
end
========================================================================

I get a different error message:
"test_temp1.rb:25:in `to_s': undefined method `+' for 
#<Address:0x3413f68> (NoMethodError)
  from test_temp1.rb:41:in `puts'
  from test_temp1.rb:41"

Thanks!
