Dear all,

Thank you for everyone's quick work and responses!
It's only been a week, I have learned a lot.
I started to write down some steps we've gone thru, 
plus a little bits of things I think maybe good to 
add for the future. Please take a look the attachment
and let me know any corrections, additions or comments.
We'll make this an on-going document as we continue 
working on it.

Thank you, all, for your help and support!

Cindy
