Oppose deletion of this article[edit]

It is almost as if you would have to be here in Pittsburgh to understand the significance of this notable object...that is really not the reason to retain this article, but no one that I've ever discussed this topic with here has been nothing but amazed. Another discussion will help clarify this issue, I trust. Best Regards,

suggested amendment to lead[edit]

Hi Barbara (WVS), could the physical description of the sketchbook, that is presently in the lead, have its own section directly under the lead called "Description"?, plus the lead having a pithy sentence as to the sketchbook's significance? thanks, (ps. i could have been WP:BOLD but ....)

I would say that this is a 'safe' thing to be bold enough about. I'll take a look after you are done to take a look at it - I trust you!!! Best Regards,
