Hello Ken and Ernie,
Go ahead and do a rescan and if Ernie still is up for validating it let him
know when it is ready. You can do a hold for Ernie:)
Thanks again Ken for looking into this. I have downloaded a number of your
scans. You have some similar interests as I do.

I am beginning to rescan it; unless someone objects, I will make it a new
submission and it will be in rtf format. How do you feel about that? I
have been out of touch because of a computer crash which is not fixed.
