Thanks for the advice as to where to find names. As for the word /escaped/, I did nothing to the subject line. It is as it was sent to the group. I honestly didn't notice or I would have changed it. Sometimes when we type, letters do get mixed up. I am sure in the beginning it was accidental and I am sure, like me, people just saw it and knew it to be what it was supposed to be and didn't look closely. Oddly, it still wasn't changed when I got this from you. Barb csmoke wrote: > Please spell it escaped, I'm a former educator.
