Hello larryw-ga,
As I think this is your first experience with Google Answers, allow me
to explain the process a bit.
I posted the information I had found earlier just as an FYI. I
thought the information might be useful to you, but it clearly didn't
answer your question, so I didn't feel it would be appropriate to post
it as an answer and collect the fee you have offered.
For a higher priced question, I might well have pursued the query
further, and tried to dig up more details on Mssrs Dodge and Sayre.
But given the amount of "digging" that likely would be needed, I
didn't feel I could justify the effort at the current list price.
So...in specific answer to your questions:
>>What more information can I provide?<<
If you have any additional information at all that would help me or
another researcher focus our research efforts, by all means, post it
here. Otherwise, no additional info is needed.
>>...what raised level of payment do I need to provide for proper
research on this question?<<
Depends what you mean by "proper research". If you want a researcher
to follow-up with the various sources I provided, you should make that
clear, and offer compensation commensurate with the level of effort.
As I said above, I couldn't justify that amount of effort at the
current list price (I'm not sure I could devote the time needed at any
price, but other researchers might not be quite as constrained as I am
in that regard).
>>I will contact the sources you suggested<<
Please do, and I hope they bear fruit.
>>If they provide my answers I will okay payment on this question<<
That would be most gracious of you...let me know what you find out.
==========
Let me know if you need more information, or if anything here isn't
clear. The process at Google Answers can be a bit confusing at times,
so we're happy to assist you as best we can in making the best use of
it.
Good luck.
