What a beautiful thing to see!  Thanks Lacey and Leah for literally 
burning the midnight oil to get that done.

Lacey and Susan: how does 9am on Monday sound for a conference call to 
check in regarding the next few steps in Babase cleanup?
Jeanne can do 9-10 (or 11-12).

Lacey:  I don't know what your schedule is for the weekend but you are 
welcome to keep the db and do cleanup on those last few errors if you 
want.  (I only see 1 female rank error in there.  I think the rest are 
still Duke inputs.)  I can't start anything until we talk on Monday anyway.

Just a quick preview....our outstanding tasks in FoxPro are:

1)  Tabby has some cycles changes ( a conversion after this is 
desirable, esp. before appending the append the census data below)
2)  Append the dbf census files Jen F prepared and run a conversion to 
see how extensive the errors are.
3)  Based on #2, decide whether to clean up the new census errors or 
revert to an earlier Babase 1.0 and proceed with minor error cleanup.  
(This means the census files will eventually have to be converted and 
uploaded into Babase 2.0 via postgres)
4)  Discuss the Hooks and Altos 81-82 ranks update file Susan sent (do 
we load into Babase 1.0 or 2.0?   I haven't really looked at this)
5)  Tabby's 06B update...to do or not to do in FoxPro depending on the 
issues above.


Thanks,
Tabby
