I have been trying to sort out the Shared Event business because I would
like to have my "Letter" events produce something like 

        He sent "a big letter with a lot of stuff" to "A. Recipient" "on 25
Apr 1851" from "A Place in Ireland"

I actually have such letters, and they are important to understanding the
family, so this is a really interesting situation. I also have letters from
living or recently dead people that are of interest in constructing the
family history.

My Letter event has a sentence corresponding to the above example like this:

        [HeShe] sent [-Desc] to [Person] [onDate] from [Place]

I have two immediate issues:

1) Looks like this:

        He sent a big letter with a lot of stuff to on 25 Apr 1851 from A
Place in Ireland.

That is, the field [Person] is null for the event, until I go to A. Person's
data and open the shared event. The it all works. 

2) The definition of [Person] gets stuck. I have performed the following
test, using an event Test, which is currently not shared. This event has the
following sentence:

        [EventName]: [Desc], [Person] [onDate], [inPlace].

If it is not shared, and I haven't exercised the shared stuff, the output
reads:

        A big letter with a lot of stuff to on 25 Apr 1851 from A Place in
Ireland.

If, however, I have opened the magic shared event, I get:

        A big letter with a lot of stuff to A. Person on 25 Apr 1851 from A
Place in Ireland.

Worse yet, if I share the Event with someone else, say, B. Person, I get the
same result. That is, the B. Person share is ignored. If I go to B. Person
and open the shared event, B. Person replaces A. Person.
