Oh thanks Karen. That's really interesting. Have been meaning to ask you if you would mind if any of your responses were posted to other web pages. I would particularly like to post the Howden one to the Neepawa page. But I also liked it because I know the present-day Howden's and one can see where there has been a line of lawyers among them. Appreciate all that you are doing.
