Subject: Re: Chain sword article to post on AGA site

Does anyone on the AGA SC have TFH connections? That may be better than the 
generic address i sent today's request to.
We can always remove the 1949 Innes Pictures if necessary. I am hoping that 
they will be generous and let us use them.  I think when i checked in 2000, 
they said they wanted $75-$100 per image (maybe more) for me to have them 
reprinted.
