Chris,
Sorry, that I did not thank you for the suggestion
about the valves. Sometimes there are so many responses,
both good and bad, that after I finally get a problem fixed,
(the solution may very well have been suggested on the list)
I do not back to find the one who was correct.
I finally found your message, ( my Eudora Light does not have a sort
capability) The message follows. Thank you.
