That sounds like a good solution. Katie or Ernie can
reject the one he or she has and you can re-submit and
one of them can validate. I'll keep both volumes and
renew when necesssary and then return and re-borrow as
necessary.
Thank you Ken. Just to satisfy my curiosity, what did
you do it in originally?
