I'm sure there's some fuzzy logic there about what they do but I'd bet good money even the SS people don't know. BTW, I love your Mary's name: Mary Merry. She must have taken a razzing about that but it's soooo cute. At least she married into it; her mother didn't play a cruel trick on her. I worked with a guy named Charles O. Charles. Never could figure out what his parents were thinking..... Have fun!
