thanks for helpful code and not commentary - actually had tried something like that but messed the count up - happens when low on sleep and high on frustration. advice on lib noted.

    honestly, we are having enough trouble with additional libraries -
    we just want a simple solution with node code

        stuck in async hell - page displaying (with null) before

        some simple funct wrap but can't see it - thks for any help

        var staff = ["bill","mary"];
        var total = [];
        get_total_list(staff, function(err, callback) {
          for (var i=0; i<staff.length; i++) {

            });
          }
          callback(err, total || {});
        });

        total => []
