The paper used in the movie was handmade by Twinrocker Paper in Brookston, Indiana, about 10 miles north of where Alex and I live. Twinrocker was founded by Kathryn Clark. Her identical-twin sister was in grad school (painter) at Purdue the same time I was, and played Purdue Gallery Coordinator to my Assistant Gallery Coordinator. So that should only leave me a few shy of a Kevin Bacon connection, and I'm not an actor!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon Bill
