Hello Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are starting to relax a bit. I finally completed the first stage of my rough draft in the Google doc table format. Rod, could you please look it over when you have moment. I am going to try to transfer it into a similar format to the version you last shared with us. Thank you, have a great day! Karen
