[PRCo] Re: Will wonders never cease?

[Derrick Brashear]

No map whatsoever was included. I can photograph anything I find as
long as I document what I snapped; photocopies are a quarter per page.

It appears the contract wasn't executed until November; The file has
about 10 copies of the contract.

I assume the map stayed with Pittsburgh Steel, if any.
