Donna,

Please do not feel that I am rushing you, my Spears family have been a
mystery for so long now, I am used to it, lol. Seriously, when you get time
to do it, it will be fine with me. Yes, I know exactly what you mean when
you say that we read so much, send so mych and get so many requests fro
others, it is hard to keep track, I have been there done that, lol.

Hugs,
Joyce
