Thanks, Lainie.

I do have this book. But I was thinking the one mentioned must be a 
secondary source from the title and didn't sound like a contemporary
volume and thus wasn't the one I had. I haven't finished reading it
becasuse I considered it rather dry. I'll have to find it and
try it again.

I would appreciate getting those other citations. I've been in the
Society for about 12 years now, and I can probably sum up my persona
story in a paragraph.
