John

I can't thank you enough for this information. I didn't realize that you had
to type everything. I was hoping you could cut & paste. It is all very
interesting. I like the idea of the twins in the blood line too. It gives me
something to hope for in the future. Now we have it in all of our lines.

This is all very exciting. Thanks again.
