This is one of "those" projects. It is apparently going to be trying every step of the
way.

I was proven right this morning after all of Robert's good work and what I had added to make
this work. It turns out that the one service who was anxious to consume the JSON output expects
that the JSON be a certain format. When I run their format through jslint it does not validate
unless I add quotes around the name portion of the name:value pairs. In addition they use (perfectly
valid) square brackets around the children groups that the output from json_encode() does not
contain.
I am ready to take a loss on this one but I really didn't lose - Robert gave me a great way to
retrieve the data with one query and create valid JSON from it. Thanks again Robert!
