Birthdays (February)

[judith]

Once again, thank you John. I think I will leave this list separate as I did last month. I had attempted to add both your updates to the main lists for Jan and Feb, but my internet connection has been unreliable - something internal it's finally been deduced - and in the end after some frustration with entries hanging in mid internet space decided to leave well enough alone.

List # 2 is quite extensive and I was amazed to see (and remember) so many greats with February birthdays.
