The manuscript then mostly languished in a drawer for some 25 years until I came across the EAA Forum. Here on the Forum are others better informed than I on the varieties of the Kaskara, and I thought I'd share my work with others of similiar interest.
Lee Jones dressed up my crudely typed version and turned it into a much more presentable piece. Many thanks to Lee!!
