Hi Dennis -- Thanks SO much for all the great information! I'll check to see whether his has this -- I'm not remembering a radio but I might be wrong. That would sure be a lot of fun. And even more than that, I'm grateful to everyone on the list and really touched by the huge outpouring of offers of assistance and knowledge.
