I'm going back to the original email here to respond to Tabby's
questions about the identities of the people in question, not the
issues about uploading or the table that already exists. See below.

So am I correct that these are individuals that appear on the actual
data sheets, and so were in the field when the met data were
collected? Jeanne commented that the initials you listed below were
probably short term Chicago people (for instance, LF might be Laura
F.... who was a data person in Chicago) but that can't be true if
these were the people that collected the Met data.
The table the Lacey uploaded into babase_pending has only field people
-- we excluded from the list anyone that we decided was a stateside
person who worked on the data secondarily. So, none of these people
(LF, SES, TAW) are on the list in pending, I do recall that we
encountered some or all of them but decided that they were not field
people (but we may have been wrong).
