Thanks for the information, John. I have her webpage bookmarked. And
Brenda, thank YOU for all the info you sent me on Nicholas RICE. The weird
thing is I didn't get your original message, only the part below that John
forwarded. I really want to thank you and ask if I was going to buy a book
from Betty Cook, which one did you mean had a lot of references to him?

Thanks again!!

Jan Lund
