You know you are absolutely correct. I guess it is the 2009/2010
season???? The math just is not there. I went back and looked at the
picture as you indicated, and the 1960 is what is on the picture. It
puzzles me as well. There is no need to redo the wonderfully
digitized design. Thank you for your hard work.
But I like the last two pictures that you posted for me to refer to.
If you are able to find some time, would mind digitizing those for me?
I would really appreciate it.
TIA
