Re: Order of Anthems

[Bob Wiener <wiener...>]

Thanks, from both my sister and me, for the many helpful and thoughtful
responses to her question.

The depth and breadth of knowledge of list members, and the willingness to
share it, is constantly appreciated.

Connection to others in our virtual community sustains, especially today.
