The name was returned at Laurel level.  So to resubmit do we start over from
kingdom or what...how does that work?  I've never had that happen before.

Thank you all so much for your help.  No one has any idea how much this will
mean to the goode lady I'm helping.

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them,
but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them, and try to follow
where they lead.
