James, I feel pretty dumb - sometimes all the 'unknowns' run together (until my brain crosses as much as my eyes do). Can you believe, that I knew Bechler was the Sheriff, and that he had more than one term as sheriff. My mind was stuck on the first letter 'R', so I assumed there must have been more than one sheriff...it never crossed my mind that the first letter was the problem. Thank you for solving this!
