    Hello Sis Lillie,

    No, can't help you with that, but wonder if

    you've heard from our KaeMae! It's been awhile

    She's living in another state (Missouri) and

    calls from time to time.

    Hope she contacts you also.

    She has lots of new friends there but THEY

    can't answer her questions. Wrong friends ;)

    Hope all's well with you & yours there.

    PS: I'll try to get the answer to your question

    Philia,Sis
