I'm finding the PLY version a little easier to work with. It exposes
more of the internals and feels like I have more control.

The errors in parsing sierra.txt are mostly because of over-aggressive
inclusion of words in the first name. Attached is a better one. It
also errors on unexpected punctuation which prevents "MUYSA Sierra
Club".
