Hi John,
OK. Now you've got me searching! I didn't see it in A-M or the Concours
Guidelines. Next, I'm going to my other books. When I started this project
I made handwritten notes of everything I found and then typed "concours
notes" for reference. That's where I got it. Now I need to verify that it
is correct. Anders Ditlev Clausinger? Bill Emerson? Bill Piggott?
