Just spent about an hour on the blower to Staceyboy - What a nice chap! Knows his onions too.
Ivy and Americana are absolutely alive and well over here when you talk to those who know.
My thanks to him for his insights.

Thank you so much. It was an absolute pleasure. A real life meet is already overdue. Watch this space.
Staceyboy
Looking forward to that, Staceyboy.
I shall bring the last of the good years from Brooks to entertain you - Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter from 1988 - The last with the 'Mawicke' illustrations. Well thumbed and falling apart, but a window into another world that ended with 1989.
