Mike,

Bob's death was indeed tragic.  I left Jim's memorial before Bob and didn't
learn of the accident until the next day.  Bob Pease was a friend,
colleague, and even subordinate at one time (actually no one truly managed
Bob, including me).    Friends of Bob are presently going through his
archives.  He has many third generation copies of "the finger" and one copy
of "get humping" but we are not turning up any originals.  If you have one
please let me know because we would love to have it.
