: ...this is by no means bad news. What you've accomplished is clarification of what was before considered a "known" fact. I myself had been told by a collector that it was Willis and Geiger, but he was based in New York State. Your sources are indeed much closer to the source, so no, I'd consider this clarification of facts a feather in yours and IndyGear's hat, and I'm not saying that because I am connected with it. Excellent detective work "boss"! Regards. Michaelson
...Someday I do hope you gentlemen will add a page to IndyGear that chronicles how you found out everything you found out about all these items. I have always been beyond impressed with this wealth of information and I think we all need to know where it all started from. All I ever knew was in the credits! How you went from original costume designer Deborah Nadoolman to Wested Leather is a story that must be told. Don't worry we have plenty of time!
