MOST EXCELLENT!!!!! This is a wonderful, albeit ambitious, project. I am not talented in the way of programming, but I am available if I can help in other capacities. I am available for keyboarding, finding URLS, data entry, organizing data, etc. etc. Please call on me if I can help. Very exciting! Kind Regards, Les W.
