I only helped gather the data, Shirley spent many hours working on

Correction to this post, I can take NO credit for figuring out these
Jackson/Massey relationships re: the two Artemissia Catos.... all was done
by Adruain Cato and Shirley Cato, and it took quite a bit of brain-power
on their part, in my opinion. Everything I put together was based on
their work!
