Your advice is indeed sound. This is intended to be a fun experiment for
both of us with nothing for her to lose but a great deal to gain if it is
successful. It will be one step at a time on her schedule. My daughter is
a very busy person who earns her living as a free-lance technical
publications editor, so we squeeze our projects in whenever she has the
time. Our projects are many, including genealogy and broken tombstone
repair.

Thanks to you and the many others who have commented on this list and
have written privately to me for your unexpected interest in this subject
and your many constructive suggestions. With your indulgence, I will
report the outcome of our experiments.
