Dear Boyd,
Thank you! I should have been able to figure that one out for myself as
I've used it before for some other research. I guess I was too zealous
about entering a timeframe and place. I'll try again with your directions.
Maybe this time I'll find something! Honestly, it's so exciting and like a
treasure hunt.

Thanks again,
Marilyn
