Allin:
Thanks for letting everyone know.
Chris sure was a nice guy. When we were out in AZ for DFSW, Chris was
so nice and polite to everyone.
I have as you said in your post one of his prints hanging on the wall
of my home and I enjoy it a great deal.
I will miss him and this will especially be true should I ever have
the privilage to be out in AZ again. He got such a kick out of my
wanting to talk about his paintings and then right off in the same
breath almost, his opinion about rattlesnakes and how he catches and
eats them. For the record he was just pretty amused by my asking and
said he didn't mess with them.
Chris's passing is a real shame.
Be well Allin and thanks again for letting the GJ community know
about this.
We'll talk soon.
Shepp
