Susan, I saw the answers flying in all afternoon, but 1) have been in meetings for a big event on Saturday and 2) had to hunt for your original message—finally
found it in the Junk folder. (How rude of Outlook!) Just in case you are truly nerdy enough to want to add our info into your data
J it is below.
Thanks for doing and sharing this research!
Best to you and all,
Nan
