Hi Ric,
Well, If we'd been pals, I'd have maybe just 'done' the document for him,
and with his blessing, seen to it that it got issued or 'discovered' or
whatever...
Or we could have worked on it together.
Not all collaborative Art needs to have the Artists names associated with
it, nor even one name associated with it.
Of course...
Lol...
