A bit of trivia. PR claimed the set of "Master and Commander" was as
authentic as possible, down to buttons and button holes. The paper used in
the movie was handmade by Twinrocker Paper in Brookston, Indiana, about 10
miles north of where Alex and I live.
Twinrocker was founded by Kathryn Clark. Her identical-twin sister was in
grad school (painter) at Purdue the same time I was, and played Purdue
Gallery Coordinator to my Assistant Gallery Coordinator.
So that should only leave me a few shy of a Kevin Bacon connection, and I'm
not an actor! <G>
