Daphne, I hadn't had time to look this all up yet, and you did a lot better job of explaining this than I would have done! I am going to print this off for my kids and grandkids. It has been great fun for me to communicate with you from time to time. I thought of you when I was at my Dad's earlier this month, even though he and I were on the trail of the Reids this time.
