It may not be obvious to newer researchers exactly how Drew approached this and set up his reply...but he established a starting point and ending point, and set up a timeline (no not like the Facebook Timelines) to make it easier to follow the progression of the facts you know and then arrive at the questions/puzzles yet to be worked out. This would be a good guideline for others to follow and learn from Drew's approach to problem solving. Joan In a message dated 8/5/2012 12:54:20 P.M.
