Michele and Stanka,

Thanks for all you have graciously given toward my "un-experienced" life in the "auction" lane. Only 2 hours ago, I finished doing the set-up at the upcoming auction that I had mentioned (it is at 7:30 tomorrow night) and I am going to attend. Like I said, it is not a "pricy" function (I have been told) but that the attendance should be between 150 and 300. For the area that it is in, that is fantastic. It is a fundraiser for students of Osteopathic Medicine (D0) to help with student tuitions and held at the Alumni section of the school. Quite fancy for here.

I took an 18 x 24" sample, on nice mohoghany display easel. A small table (covered) and had a write-up on black background, on smaller easel. One of the students there immediately commented, "oh I wish so and so was here, they would buy that portrait, "so here I am doing a card to place above the oil that it is "ON LOAN, not FOR SALE".

I have also donated a limited edition Lithograph of the same "lady" in the painting as she is in her place of business. Long story SHORTER: This particular person in painting has been named "honorary" member of the school as she is definitely quite an "icon" in the community now for over 57 years. Her business is such an establishment that all of the alumni from 50 years ago still come to see her.

Didn't plan to write an entire bio. but I am afraid I am already overly excited about tomorrow. Hope you will bear with me.

Thanks so much again and I love this forum and everyone is so helpful. I feel so fortunate to be a small part of it.

Patt
