Solidifying a Rotor Blade

I'm having some problems solidifying a rotor blade in Pro/E. Right now I've used two boundary blends to create the high and low pressure surfaces of the blade, but am having trouble creating the upper and lower surfaces so that I can merge them all into one surface. From there I'd like to solidify the rotor. Does anyone know where I should proceed next so that I can solidify the piece? I've attached the part for reference. Thanks in advance for your time and any help that you can provide!

you have create 4 sided patches on the corners like the picture below:

upper and lower surfaces are not tangent. if you could build them tangent, then the corners would be tangent too. i'll attach the part if you like, but it'll be a wildfire 5.0 part.

here you are.
after opening the file, go to edit menu and select "resume all"
you can use the same approach on the back and merge those surfaces then integrate the blade into to the revolved solid.(using solidify feature)
