          Thanks, BJ. I'm hoping to have the books in hand by early July. Cindy was as way off base on Newton as a black sheep as she was on Billy the Kid, making him out to be a hermaphrodite (as she announc... more

            "This book will give us the next to last book to have covered all the Earp brothers. One remains...." Julian, right?
