Thanks so much, I appreciate all your help. They said that the book should be in my hands by the end of the week. They also said that it would be completed April 2nd. Then they said April 30. The article in the paper was a 2 page spread(major blessing) but it told the community it was due out April 30. Just trying to give you a little background. My e-mail is bma8414@bop.gov and tcopeland02@yahoo.com I will be going to work soon. Thanks for your response and help. have a blessed day
