	Hi, did not mean to change your work but was trying to respond to Gwillhickers, or maybe was out of town and discouraged. Have tried a different approach to the Lead, again making Hemings Controversy section, etc. and using some of your material, making it shorter, noting limitations of one person tested from Hemings, keeping the TJF quote only in the footnote, and noting the 2010 MacArthur Foundation quote about Gordon-Reed "dramatically changing Jeffersonian scholarship". Thanks for your contributions. Parkwells 01:42, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
