We lived near him in Cleveland. I seem to remember that he left Cleveland and moved to California to raise walnuts. I haven't read the whole article yet, but I think my father told me a somewhat different story than the article started out telling. I'd love to talk to you.<br /><br />Mark Schroeder<br />mark@marksschroeder.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785435502815379848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-41909679675711209662008-11-14T17:57:00.000-05:002008-11-14T17:57:00.000-05:00Thanks for commenting, loe - and I can well imagin...Thanks for commenting, loe - and I can well imagine!

Neil Shapiro wrote a great article in Illustration Magazine and I'm glad to see you giving it this kind of play. <BR/><BR/>As I said in a note to the editor of Illustration, I enjoyed the artwork in this article but even more I enjoyed the human touches-- the photo of the boyish Jon Whitcomb before he set the world on fire, and the poignant story of Charles Cooper's son trying to explain to his father that the old methods no longer worked. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to another fun week of TI!David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.com
