Dear Jan What a fantastic find for someone/anyone. You must be congratulated even if this is NOT the Robert S Stapylton in question. I congratulate you. The people on DPS sites in the past have been amazing and I continue to be so impressed with people's behavior and good will. The report below is fantastic and I am not even connected to the persons. I just wanted to express my thoughts.
