Hi: I know you don't want to hear this, but I "can't" help you with Blake information. I've put what little I have. However, there are several members of our local genealogy association that might be able to. Some may be on the local mailing list, so I am ccing this message to them. Also take advantage of the GenConnect boards to place queries, etc. Blake is not my direct line, so I didn't have much.
