Thank you for providing that info. It appears that Mike did issue a
copyright notice on the original, which indicates she is now 17 years
old... :-P

"Meriday in the Morning"
Copyright 1992 by Mike Jittlov
(& Meriday too!)
Perhaps Eli the Bearded <*@eli.users.panix.com> could pass that along
to and suggest that he apply the authors name and
copyright notice to the headers. I can understand anyone claiming
fair use to the image, but should someone attempt to use it
commercially (or for-profit), they would be in violation of copyright
laws.
