Unfortunately for some of us we do not have that journal in our hands. Is there
any way to share the images she refers to?

Are you talking about the one where we are discussing the conference about
Arnold and other such conferences or a different one?

Yep, that is a given. They will arrive while you all are in Florence. I would
much rather be with you all though than here reading it.
Sad thing about it, I just got a job. Had I gotten it just 3 weeks ago I could
go with you all, air fare just dropped again!

It is the history of stripes on cloth. Very cool book. It has an almost cult
following. :)
