It's hard to shoot, Randolph, it being cylindrical with the portraits being
wraparound. Poetryetc doesn't see to like jpegs does it? But I'll give it a
go or you can send me your email and I'll post it to you.
Cheers,
Bill

wearing a pale blue suit on the mug (the others are all dark). So perhaps it
is OK to confer nothinghood on him. Actually, different suit, maybe this
means he is actually DEAD! Oh, yeh, he is. A sartorial suicide if nothing
else.
