Thanks.  I've sent Jeffrey a letter at the gte address.  The link I had 
which went directly to the Uncle Remus pages didn't show Jeffrey's home 
page address.  You helped me find that.   

I agree that it would be a small job to retype those 60 +/- pages, but I 
didn't want to start over - I just wanted to help finish the project if 
he was interested.

that potential project for me.
