GYAN's age was assigned per the email exchange that I have copied below 
(received 24 Aug 08).  I will change it if JA and SC still want that 
after re-reading the email.  It's all the same to me, but I do think we 
already tried to address the confusion.

Hi all,
Gyan's size Jkw thinks it should be Buckey's Size.

Subject: GYAN's age--team, and especially JKW


Hi team,
GYAN joined Nyayos in February, and we need a little help on estimating
his birthdate. JKW has the first, good notes on GYAN and indicated on 23
Feb that he was the size of Fabian.  Then during the last days, on 27
Feb, the note written by JKW (based on all of your looking?) indicates
that he is the size of COOL or sightly bigger. COOL (born Sep 01) is
5mos older than FABIAN (born Feb 02). We are trying to decide whether we
should just estimate between the two or whether GYAN is really more
COOL's age. Sebastian is between COOL and FABIAN (Nov 01) and BUCKY is
Sep 01 like COOL, so they might also be good comparisons.  Do you have
any thoughts about this?  Or could you look the next time you are with
the group and let us know if you have any idea from that because it
isn't so long since he came into the group.


So the males we are talking about are:

GYAN

and

COOL
BUCKY
SEBASTIAN
FABIAN

Thanks,
Jeanne & Tabby
