Thanks Paul, Not sure if it is far enough along to finish it as Lewis would have. She expects it to be done in Lewis style, etc. Not sure when I can make it up to the St. Louis area again as she will be out of town when I'm there on December the 11th. She is very particular about anything to...

Thanks Warren, I did my best, It just wasn't enough for him! Lewis was pretty much indescribable unless you knew him. Bob

Thanks John, He was such an inspiration to everybody. there'll never be another Lewis Pruneau! Bob

Thanks Mark, This one hit me harder than others. His daughter just told me they found an unfinished diorama he had started. We're going to St. Louis in a couple of weeks and she asked I I could finish it. I told her I'd see. If I can't finish it like he would, I don't want to try. It kinda...

It needed to be shared Paul, I've come across more material about Lewis and his art. I'll be sharing them as time goes along. Bob

Guess what? So do I! :vgood:

I have photos of the Visitation and funeral but I don't think it would be appropriate to post them here. However, Lewis' daughter, Laura, who I remember from 30 years ago as a beautiful young girl, so proud of her talented father at most Mastercon conventions, basking in her father's glory...
