Jann, That's great...thanks for the tips. Send me a couple of pages...glad to help. I took the jet mail boat up the Rogue River when I was a tike...about a million years ago. Fell off the boat into the river. Fortunately, we were at the destination. Boy, was my dad pissed. He had a large army coat...I was drenched...that's what I wore until we got back to Gold Beach. I was so small, and the coat was so big, that it hung to my shins. Waiting for your file.
