Thanks Etienne. It certainly helps to have a native reader on the list to fix my errors. Beadle in England, Town Crier in the USA. Although, I'm not sure when the tradition ended here in the states. A few towns may still have them. I seem to recall at least one that I have been to, although that may have been Colonial Williamsburg. You can still see them in some of the re-enactment/historic villages throughout the country. Not sure, how many teenagers (or adults) in the US would even know what a town crier was. Even though we have one famous "example" in Paul Revere, and numerous newspapers throughout the land by that name. BTW, I did look at Sr. Durny's signature, and it was unhelpful to me. Perhaps someday, I'll be better at this. I've had voisin/cousin problems before.
