Bob must've already left work for the day or been busy with other things...he
usually answers right away. After some frustrating search attempts, I did find
the article I mentioned earlier on the Web. Was going to copy it and send the
whole thing, but their copyright info. at the bottom makes it sound like I
shouldn't. So here's the link:
<A HREF="http://www.aol.com/mynews/news/story.adp?id=1999012105053389">My
News | Patient's Cells May Grow New Organs</A>
or http://www.aol.com/mynews/news/story.adp?id=1999012105053389

I just noticed the AOL in the address -- I hope that doesn't mean only those
on AOL can get it. I tried to find a web site for the Associated Press, but
couldn't
