Hi Barry --

What a GREAT discovery -- and these wonderful sharing tools you have sent to
us all... Later, when I have time to gather the necessary details for you, I
may ask for a specific look-up in Nova Scotia CAN ... but I think you will
probably be SWAMPED with look-up requests from all of us, so I will hold off
for a while!

Thanks a million... I'm printing all of the ones you sent yesterday, and I
will plan to check some of them against the JRC Index, and his book, that
Dean printed to the Home Page, Cousins Page, a week or two ago.

Many thanks!

Andrea
