Steve, I was looking at the Wallis fife you have posted. Something didn't look right to me. So I grabbed my Langwill. I think you misread the Address ...
Dear Sharon, Thanks for the post. I'll take one at a time. ... like ... like ... over ... Noted! It's 15 for 3 against. But remember, I state Circa. ... sooooo...
Sharon, I did spend awhile looking at the address section of the Wallis. I think your right on this. It was somewhat confusing in how Langwill listed it. ...
