Hello all...

My problem is this.. I have an XML that has been formatted and given to me
already. My goal is to attempt to serialize the XML into an object using a
regular class and XMLSerializer if possible. I don't want to stroll too far
outside the realm of "normal". My main problem is that in my XML, I have a
node called "Referrals" which has both an array of Referral nodes under it
AS WELL AS a lot of attributes. I need to have both the attributes and all
array nodes accessable through my class. I am able to get either the
attributes OR the Array, but I cannot get both. I have something wrong, and
I am completely stumped.

Anyway... I will first post the XML I am trying to serialize and then I will
post the class that I'm using to attempt to serialize, and someone might be
able to help me out a little?
