I just read the article Lynda, and belived what was written. Hmmmm. If you
are correct, that the article is inaccurate (and I have no reason to
dis-believe you), I have no idea of why they would report incorrect
information.

It isn't like it is some kind of sensational story. Hmmm. Thank you . I
always try to post from what appears to be goodm souces. I have been reading
from that paper fro a while, off and on. Thanks again............bobford
