Jan;
Someone told me the loaning party was Gita so I have written to them (and Il Vecchio as well) to ask if there's anyone who still remembers any details. I'll post any responses to the list.
As someone who grew up without the internet, I continue to be amazed that these things can be accomplished with such ease and speed.
Maybe if we settle this matter once and for all we can move on to Amelia Earhardt...
