Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Off topic--Went to my 45th class reunion Saturday. My English teacher (4 years) was there, my typing (keyboarding) teacher, and the guidance counselor (92 years old and drove 40 miles to get there), who told me I wouldn't do well in college because I couldn't spell. I sat with them at dinner-- just to tell them that I had made a living as a writer for five years. Computers with spell check and editors made it possible. The English teacher did mention that most editors are not very good. I am sure that you are one of the good ones.
I enjoy Mark Twain.
