TO _ALL_:
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
After hours, and hours, and hours, and ... , and hours: Success.
To all who helped, thanks.
My quest was minor, but major for me, as I learn from the path of one,
whether big or small begets another.

I never look down at anyone, except to help him/her up.

With gratitude,
Bruce
