Thank you Annika! This is great.

Excellent Susan!

I might have a lead for you; if you email me I’ll send you the info!

No worries! If you hover over the pdf, a menu at the bottom will appear with a symbol to download the .pdf that looks like a sheet with an arrow. If you download the .pdf and open it on your PC, you’ll be able to zoom to your heart’s content. I’ll add a note to that effect on the page!
