Not to be too picky (which is what I’m doing), but it is Von Swank not Van Swank. Great job on the notes.
Hey David, thanks! That’s not too picky, that’s just picky enough. I rely on the readers for such corrections, because I often don’t have time to double-check name spellings, etc.
Thanks for your compliments; glad you enjoy the notes.
