Thank you, Sir! I appreciate your comments very much. This is a subject I have been very interested since about seven years of age, which is longer ago than I care to contemplate. I have read what I could bring to hand, and thought about what I have read, but I have never had any opportunity to do original research, or lay in much by way of the more recent publications. I am very grateful for the detailed information and archival materials many here are willing and able to share.
