Well , I have -- as a matter of fact everyone has stepped up and helped.

Again - and I can not say this enough

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT ARE HELPING ALREADY.

Everyone has their space and is doing what they can. I am letting them do
their job. I am simply pointing out what is missing and someone grabs it. I
have only had to ask.

BVARC is an example of people that if asked do what is needed and might
bark a bit but get the job done ..
