Hi Whitney, Just a note to suggest that you might want to include the states involved here. It doesn't affect me, but others might not realize that Oconomowoc is in Wisconsin as is Oshkosh (bi'gosh) and Milwaukee and that Kearney is in Nebraska (I assume). Without this it could drive some researches nuts for a while. Just a thought.
