    Hi Angela. the first place always to look for a paper like this is 
nfb.org
search under Fred Schroder.
If that doesn't work you can try key words.
I have some work to get in or I would search right now. Maybe in a few days 
when I get my interviews videoed etc and things slow a little I'll see.
But if you go to the nfb site there is a search box where you can look up 
articles.
Mike
