Thanks to everyone who replied to my initial post.  I'll take your suggestions and see what I can work out.  Trust me I'll keep you all posted on my presumably slow progress. Dale.

old medic,     Waterloo Region was one of the original OPALS sites, with some of our medics going to the Michener Institute in Toronto.  Me on the other hand I was trained In Hamilton under the Mcmaster Base Hosp. Program.  Paid for by my employer at the time. ( thank you very much! ).    ...
