Online transcription by Susan Shields Sasek. I have a copy of this handwritten chart which is difficult to read in places either due to the handwriting or certain parts of the copy not being clear. I've done my best -- but don't guarantee the accurancy. My notes and items I wasn't sure about are in curly { } brackets.
