Artist Found
Hi All,
Here's more on the post below regarding the mystery artist. After seeing DebrSno's note I sent her the note below. She also shared her story on how she got the sketches, and said it was o.k. to put here...so here it is!
Enjoy,
G.

Oh my gush -- Thank-you! It's hard to believe I've possibly found him. I'm new at this scan and e-mail so bear with me. Hopefully you'll be able to receive the scan to make sure these are your Uncle Bill's.
I was on vacation in Vegas with friends. Went to MGM to explore the sights, shop the mall area, stopped for drinks, guess it was "Bill"
we sit next to, we kinda greeted each other, he was leaving and kinda slid napkins toward me, I remember saying thanking you before realizing the drawing, bartender asked if I was going to keep them and I said sure...was more into simple country life then the city...Mystery man was gone...looked for him to really say "Thank-You" and that I appreciate his drawing...never found him, but haven't forgotten him...Thanks and God bless...Deb
