"My grandmother bought this picture from Bill Kurtis. It hung in her house as long as I can remember.She knew I liked it and she left it to me when she passed....It's too bad that the print is so faded. They weren’t thinking archival back in the 70’s I guess.I would love to know if Bill gets back to you. I hope he does. He lived a few doors down from us when I was in grade school....Gramma was Mildred Pierson, but they didn’t know each other. She bought it from him at a gallery event. My dad was a doctor and we lived on Euclid Avenue in Oak Park, Illinois. He lived on Greenfield at the end of our block. Bill Kurtis was a local anchorman in Chicago who cut his teeth reporting from Vietnam under Cronkite, I believe."
Ace noticed this print on Axels wall in Telluride.These connections through time and space bind us all.
Moments like these are priceless. The serendipitous moments that just blow your mind.
