'RoC': Thanks. Yes, I figured he had that background. I will try to get the
Disney Reader. I don't know very much about were to get biographical stuff
about the artists, so more tips about, for instance, Murry and Strobl would
be appreciated. Eventually maybe we could compile a small encyclopedia with
data about the more important artists.
