He no longer posts here or anywhere else that I know of. He married and started a family and last he posted here he showed pictures of his new baby girl.

There are others I could fetch links for you Starlight,but one of your best friends is Tania's excellent data base site followed by what should be another good friend and that's Google.

Thanks for keeping me straight Carolyn on these names and for adding a bit of history. Yes, Tania's database is excellent. My dial up slower than ever and keeping up with plants and storm damages left and right, just haven't had the time to go there lately.
