Thanks once more Coe!!!! Just to let everyone know I talked to his mom today (we both work a NASA) and Abraham is in New Mexico on a Scout Hike right now. She had been answering all the emails, but they lost their internet in the storm on Saturday and still don't have it back in service. I'll forward this info to her on her work email, but I can't give that one out on here.
