Job well done! Awesome!
I was looking through the list and did not see my friend Millie from NY's name on there for 7 scarves going to Iraq.
Thanks for looking into this Dee.

A thousand Thank You's, Lynda, for pointing this out ... Millie was correctly identified in my spreadsheet, but when I brought the information over I apparently changed the spelling of her name to "Minnie" (egads!) ... I have immediately corrected the typo so now she gets the proper -- and rightfully so! -- credit she deserves!
Millie, please forgive me!
Sincerely,
~Dee
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::THUD::
('nuff said)!
