Sincere thanks to the many of you who have written in answer to my question
both offlist and on. Thanks to your patient explanations and thoughtful

(And have them singing contemporary songs to boot!) Best wishes for a good new
year to all you fine and helpful folks.

Sincerely,
Susan D. Rosenberg, MD
aspiring writer of historical fiction
