Thank you both for your vote of confidence on my researching skills.
Sadly, they came about during my college days, when I would procrastinate starting or completing a project if I could fit in an extra day of skiing or some such fun activity with friends. So with a deadline breathing down my neck, I became skilled in getting info. quickly at the library (gasp....in the days prior to the internet). Thankfully, I now need to use these skills on a daily basis to chase down building codes, construction details, etc. So a mis-spent youth is not entirely for naught.
misspent youth shadowed me until maybe 3 years ago -g-
smiling...no rusty skills for you!
