Hi, Cyler,
Thanks for the email, but I think you mean it for another Nancy. She’s Nancy OMalley at uky.edu. I am in CT and work for HIstorical Perspectives, Inc .(HPI). I’m going to put your email in my Mac electronic file and also send it on to HPI for our collective research sources. Thanks,
Nancy
