Dear R community,

I am a neophyte and I cannot figure out how to accomplish keeping only the
first record for each ID in a data.frame that has assorted numbers of
records per ID.

I studied and found references to packages plyr and sql for R, and I fear
the documentation for those was over my head and I could not identify what
may be there to reach my goal.

If someone could point me toward a method I will gladly study documentation,
or if there is an example posted someplace I will follow it.

THANKS!
Julie
