Thanks, Tricia

I hope this is what you were looking for.
Cindy:

Thanks for your quick response. The issue came up on my Suggestions Report because I'm related to this person. I obviously don't know the answer so I was hoping you did and would respond. You did.  :-) Sadly I don't know if it's correct or not.

Tricia

Busby-1380 and Busby-1430 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate made in error. These are the same person
