THOMSON
     Thanks Till for putting me back on the list.   A grammatical
question..... shouldn't your statement
below ask "Inscriptions.....date...".rather than your contribution
"Inscriptions..dates.."?
I know (and appreciate) your stickling for grammatical details.   As you
now know
I'm Canadian and speak the Queen's English.  Well,  Till I appreciate you
greatly
for this list and what you've done for me in my spiritual life.  Still, bad
grammar is just that!

With thanx....Jim
