Instructions:

Following are guidelines to help you enter your biography.  Some fields will
need only a single line, while others may take multiple lines.  A man may have
multiple marriages, for example, with children by each marriage.  Take whatever
space you need.

Remember that this is not an obituary, and we are not as interested in praising
the individual as in recording the facts of his or her life.
