It's ok Carole...Don and I are Taylor cousins from way back when in Scituate ..although we can't find our ancestors that are hiding in the swamp there...Also, we come from the RI group also and the "schoolin" thing is sort of a joke. Hope that clears up everything..you go ahead and ask a question..someone will surely answer it if they have the answer.. That's what we are here for...right Don?????
