I actually tried to get the author of the article (Jeffrey Powers-Beck) to give me contact info for the owner of the album, but he wouldn't give it to me, and I understood that...I just figured it would be an item I would never see.

Yes, Dan, that album has found the right home. I admire the fact that when you chase multiple items, each one seems to you like THE Holy Grail. In my case, they seem like the labors of Hercules.
