Francis, A happy new year to you, also. I thank you for your help. As an aside, there was a post about the age of our PR man which I wish to respond to. As a man of senior years, I realize that I am reaching my greatest capacity, not physical, which in former years was greater! My capacity is not for memorization of numbers which is very good or concepts which is better, but understanding of people. Andres Segovia (one of my favorite people) played his superb music well into his 80's. In fact, his capacity increased to his last days. I hear of a blacksmith who is named who at 83 was working in his shop when accosted by three thugs. They demanded his money. One ended up with a broken arm, one with a broken collar bone, and one was still in the hospital and would be arrested upon his release. I suspect that the blacksmith would have given them money if they could have asked nicely and presented a good case. Old is not stupid and in many cases superbly informed and formed by life experience. Old is not necessarily weak as in the example that I present. As I grow older, I begin to appreciate my youthful stupidity and revel in my current understanding. Watch out for the old ones!! They are truly dangerous for the uninformed and that is my humble opinion!! Old Jack!!
