Hi,
	From a strictly legal perspective, if you are just linking to a site,
it's fine, if you have it up on your own page, it could be an issue, though I
can't see anyone going to court over this.
	From the perspective of politeness and consideration, if the AUTHOR
complains to you or someone who represents themselves asa designated agent of
the author (or their heirs), you should take it down.  Anyone else may be
speaking from an mis-remembered conversation from many years ago, or confusing
two different artist, etc.
