OK, a hint first....think biology. Another broader hint...if you're a Quizzyland type, take a look at my quiz on mnemonics.
Acckkk...just realized I made a major omission in the sequence....the letters should be K, P, C, O, F __ __!

Dear Crisw: I think ACCKK might just be an understatement  . I still have a note on my refrigerator and at my computer as reminders to carry on the search! Heh...heh... heh.... Now it's more fun! Oh well, now I can look some more~~~~

Okey dokey!

O rder
F amily

The O made all the difference. And, of course, the clue gave it away? Thanks for the help! Fun, as always.
Egad, now I have to come up with one!
This one should fill the bill.
C, A, P, A, T, G, C, L, V, _, _, _

Since it's you Wez I'd hazard a guess that the missing letters are HHP The total being the surnames of the 1966 England World Cup Team Ball Charlton J Wilson Stiles Charlton B Moore Banks Cohen with Hurst, Hunt and Peters the missing three

Sorry about that, Wez! I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put all the details, just in case I was wrong! But, oh my goodness! I met a challenge in a "brainy" thread? And NOW, I have to make the next question?! I don't know if I can stand the pressure! But here goes: Stand up tall and stretch. Change your look and go forward. R, A, 1470 M, H E, H S, _ _, _ _ *As I will be away til Sept. 1, I shall leave the correct response with blue, my twin. Just PM her if you think you've got it. But I don't think it will take that long!* ~Lea

I think I've got the sequence but I'm not sure what, if anything, follows HS - I thought that is where we are currently up to!
