Lani, thanks
for all of your research you do for us. I was going to list all of the technical/propellerheads in the title, but worried that I would leave someone out. Thanks to all of you and you know who you are. Love and prayers of comfort and inner peace to you all, Bill

Thanks Lani.
I can only begin to imagine how much reading and searching you must do.
