Finally, I found the information I was searching for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for four days I keep finding websites that are supposed to have what I’m searching for, only to be discouraged with the lack of what I had to have. I wish I would have found your website sooner! I had about 30% of what I needed and your web-site has that, and the rest of what I had to have to finish my research. Thank you and I will report back on how it goes!
