I did finally get them to load and have successfully done up to 15,000 
at a time for testing, but it does take a long time.  I found out that 
my problem was with the entries that that had  double quotes in them - 
usually for nicknames.  Thanks for letting me know that you are doing so 
many at a time, because I will need to load about 28,000 or so when we 
do our final load.
