Hi Linda, I've been trying to look up where you could contact Adrienne Gear, with no luck. I bought the poster at the workshop that I went to. She is presenting to our Primary Teachers Association again in March, so I will try to find out for you then, and will post it to the list. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
