Hi Louis, thanks for visiting. I tend to do tons of research. I love doing it so much. I collect info on the hope it may be useful in the future. This was also from the time I didn’t know to document where I found the info. I can’t tell you the criteria. I know it was from some association that offered good info. Sorry I can’t tell you more. Thanks for visit and comment, Jo Ann
