Martha,

Was there some reason you didn't want to put the name of the newspaper in the
detail section of the location?

It seems to me by putting the name in the location that you can easily get a
report of all the people that have obits/articles in that paper.

I like using the PG variable and am considering change my sentence.
Thanks
