Dan
Thank you for your thoughtful and appropiate response to the question asked from
a
person seeking the help of others within this discussion group. When one reads
several
versions of an event in history, and there is no conclusive solution to be found,
then one
would hope that our "learned" friends in the world we live will / would give
freely of their
knowledge without hidden inuendo and snide comment.
Your help and guidance on this is greatly appreciated.
