Thanks Erik,
Your comments were helpful.  I use Ladies and Gents so I connected, but your 
annotation will help avid left/right confusion.  Is there a standard annotation 
for calls, and where do I find it?
Rich

When I first looked at this, I had to get away from "Left Right" to "Ladies 
Right." I'd write: (WR, NL, MR, PL). Then looking at this, one need note this 
is a half-hey. I suppose the person jotting this down knows that, but for the 
rest of us, adding a X2 could help. Then to be explicit, one has to leave out 
the last PL. Thus to be totally accurate it's:

(WR, NL, MR, PL, WR, NL, MR)

Which is common, and only 7/8ths of a full hey...
