But can you really blame C.Tolkien for being so protective?

But perhaps, if completion was nearing while CT was still alive and kicking, perhaps approaching him would be the wrong approach. Perhaps approaching someone-else- who would be interested and also close to CT, but perhaps less protective. The only example I can think of now is Christopher Lee - a definite Tolkien scholar, who -met- -the- Tolkien, and I believe knows C.Tolkien.

Just a thought.
