You could clean this up (get rid of folds etc.) and then offer it as a print for people to frame and display. Would look great on the wall.

Nice bit of research work there my friend.
Thanks, Bob. There are several other such documents from the same source. I may eventually build them into this site as a resource center – of sorts.
