Thanks Guppy..... but it seems that the genius IQ skips a generation.... 
Although I did inherit his appreciation for great architecture.  |

We were looking through my dads drawings to match his signature to the one on the newly found sketch. Some like these weren't signed. Sorry I had the flash on my camera on.
He did a lot of other portraits, some were of beautiful actresses of his time, done in pastels, absolutely stunning. My sister has them. I will try to get pictures of them.

That is really cool!
Sounds like your Dad was quite a man, I bet his difficult upbringing gave him thick skin and a good work ethic. Maybe that sketch can be an inspiration to youth of the future.  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Those are some "Norman Rockwell" quality works!
Down the line the Boys and Girls Club could probably establish an exhibit of works by former attendees, and your father's work could be the catalyst that gets the thing started? |
I am a legend in my own mind!
