NP, a request for female authors (with a M&D mention at the end)

[philip goode]

HaHa Keith I was starting to think the same thing I went through 4 days of
responses from the P-list to add to my spreadsheet.

Thanks everyone!  I now have a list that can keep me busy for years to
come.  I knew reaching out to the P-list was a good idea on this front.

I appreciate all of you taking the time to reply and I hope to be in touch
with each of you once I read your suggestion.

Stay Warm!
