[ANSTHRLD] pictorial armorial

[Irena Fridenberg]

As you know, I am very interested in working on this project.  Just let
me know where, when, what and how. In one of my postings I stated there
needed to be one person holding everything in order knowing who is
doing what and what has been done.  I am very willing to support that person
and work within the guidelines set forth. As before, I am willing and able.
