As with all my posts, I preface the information below by saying that almost all my research has been done on the net and therefore is not verified as accurate. If any of it is provably inaccurate I would welcome assistance to correct what I have, but I would like to have references to show me where I am wrong. Any comment should, of course, be posted to the Brawner list so everyone is aware of any changes.
