Thnx for all the advice John, Gambitt, and Wossa. Sorry to take so long to reply -- MillyBess has been finding lots of end of summer work for me.... I think I'll start saving my pennies while I continue to research this.. I'm always happier if I know enough about what I'm buying to know I'm getting a good deal.

They figure it will be a few weeks until they come to a conclusion on what happened.
He was a well respected businessman in Niagara Falls. He will be missed.
