Note: This web page was a product of Nancy Sampson who offered to let us "link" to her work hosted on a commercial web server. For several reasons we can no longer link to that server. I was faced with a decision to either drop the link to her work, or offer to host it on our server. I tried to contact her and get her thoughts, but her email address bounced. Rather than lose the work entirely, I decided to duplicate her work here, and hope she would approve. -- Dick Allen Cattaraugus County Coordinator
