Cleanup is a big time consumer, but John's utility can do a great deal for
you. The names should be fairly easily cleaned up using his utility.
Remember if you use it, that it is DONOR ware. If it saves you time, and
you like it, you donate to the Jimmy fund. It is quick and easy to donate
and goes to a great cause.

Thanks Teresa for the suggestion. I will look at that utility, but in my
case the "Van" has never been dropped, so I would never want it to index
under just Hoosan. I am concerned that I am going to have to hand edit all
these if I choose to migrate my database over. That would be a lot of work.
Just fixing my notes will probably take me 5 years and then all the two word
names that I have is a daunting task. But I am only 40, lets hope I have 30
years or more to accomplish this! :)
