Default Remove middle initial from "first name middle initial"

Hello Excel Gurus,

I've been searching the site for an answer to this question but as yet no
luck. If I missed a previous post on this topic I apologize, please direct me
to it.

I have 1 column with a series of people's first names. Many have a middle
initial, some don't. About half of the cells are of two people's names joined
by an "&". Sample data below:

Frank & Debbie J
Marshall & Teresa
Timothy R
Jeffrey D & Eileen N
Pamela J
James R & Rachel
Brooke S
Myung S
Martin F & Susan A
Kathleen

I need remove the middle initial and preserve the first names and the "&"
with a single space between the names and the "&". Can anyone provide me with
a way to do this?

Many thanks in advance,
Justin F.
