Good piece on casting ball. Answered a coupla questions for me . . . uh, actually 'splained why I messed so many of 'em up. Prolly ain't surprising to ye. Wisht it had come out when Windy was here, though. I'd like to know if that artist improved your looks, any. Figgered Windy'd know. And surely he'd tell the truth of it. Reckon? Thanks for the article. Fiddlesticks As long as there's Limb Bacon a man'll eat! (But mebbe not his wife...) | ||

Thanks Dick. Y'know, jedgin' by modern photo pictures I've seen over the years, it does look dissimilarly authentic, don't it? Didn't take away from the article none . . . Nope, that'd be a fine painting in anyone's home. Especially when a good friend is the subject. Thanks for everything, Mike. Fiddlesticks As long as there's Limb Bacon a man'll eat!

Hey 'Sticks and all, Thanks for your comments on my story. Here's hopin' it helps. As far as the artist properly misrepresenting me, he did try. Let me just say that I find that painting rather complimentary... Maybe that's why I like it. And maybe I'll see Windy this weekend. Shoot sharp, Mike | |||

fellers, i gotta tell ya 'bout that artist, ol' "sweet william" conant; he never ran into nothin' that he couldn't pretty up a mite. folks trade him a knife, er a gun, er most anything, and after a few days it shows up on his blanket lookin' purtier 'n youlda thunk it could ever be. it just ain't in his nature ta let th' ugly of a thing survive. 'course, paintin' ol' pale rug hasta be a challenge even to ol' bill. when i saw him today he looked like he'd aged every one o' them years he took offa mike in th' picture, just frum the effort! plumb wore out, he was! he got th' capote right, though. mind yer topknots! windy | |||

Sigh . . . true artists never spare themselves in their work. They can actually shorten their own lives out of pure dedication---give themselves up for the sake of their subject, so to speak. Whether or not that's heroic, I don't know. Apparently, there may be one of those amongst the historical artists . . . Philosophizin'Sticks As long as there's Limb Bacon a man'll eat!

Hey Winded One, This child must have been out on the trail when you were in camp yesterday. Just lucky for me, I suppose. And, yes, "Sweet William" did get the capote right... Didn't do too bad on the guns either. Shoot sharp, Mike | |||
