Finally, I located the information I was looking for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for four days I keep entering web-sites that are supposed to have what I’m looking for, only to be disappointed with the lack of what I wanted. I wish I could have found your web-site sooner! I had about 40% of what I was looking for and your website has that, and the rest of what I had to have to finish my research. Thank you and I will report back on how it goes!
