Apologies all.  Thanks steve413 for posting the corrections and srenauer for helping keep me honest. Guess I shouldn't try to build a .puz before morning coffee! Glen9999 has a much better track record...

Update: I removed the post with the typos so someone else doesn't grab it to solve.

Thanks for doing this!
