First of all, let us say that we're both extremely grateful for all the comments that this story garnered so far. We haven't written together in almost a year (for lack of time), but it's always a pleasure to write together, and we're thrilled that the readers seem to enjoy our joint efforts.

Thanks so much again for your enthusiasm, guys! Part 2 coming up soon!
And Pam, Happy Birthday again! And the Boards, Happy Anniversary!!!
Wendy and Kaethel
