Wow! Thanks, Cindy. That clears it up. The key is to the left of 1 on my
keyboard too.
OT: How do you search so well?? For example, there was a child actress on
Old Time Radio named Patricia Ryan. She was on "Let's Pretend" and started
on TV as well but died at a young age. I tried to search for a short
biography but could not find her. If you were searching, what would you put
in the search string?
Sorry, folks, for the OT.
