Hi Mickey,
Someone else has asked to proof this one if the person who asked for it
doesn't want to. But I'll let you know if that doesn't work out.
Thanks for offering...
Deborah

Hi. I didn't request it, but that type book is right up my alley. I'd love
to proof it, unless someone wants it more. <grin>
