I pulled all of your data together and put it into a tighter format. I added some additional material and references. Hope you like how it reads; if not please restore the old form from the 'Changes' feature above and accept my apologies. I didn't know the significance of the "Vide" reference, so I left it alone. Also made an ackward attemp to fix Dorothy's comment; may not be style guide acceptable...???

I noticed that you have two headings with the word "Biography"! Unfortunately that will show up on our Database as something they suggest to be fixed. So could you delete one please and then maybe edit the biography a little bit to read smoother? Thanks Dorothy B. ( Data Doctors Project. )
