Anner, didn't Anne Lowe publish in HIPS the article from the Peabody
Alumni magazine I sent her several years ago? Now, that you got me
to thinking, it might not have been i. germanica, but I thought it
was. In the earlier days of this tradition, it probably was I.
germanica, but later on, it might not have been. Can you find the
Hips article? I think it was in her last issue as editor. If I
still have the magazine, it is buried in a box in the attic.
