I managed Jett Gallery for about fourteen years and       seem to recall Jett talking about you though I don't remember the specifics.       > Sorry to reply so late, but I just happened across your post & question.       Yes, I believe we met at the Gallery several years ago. I was born in Santa       Fe, and my step-grandfather (the only grandfather I knew, actually) was Jozef       Bakos, one of the Cinco        Pintores of Santa Fe. I believe you and I met at the gallery when it opened a       retrospective of Bakos' work and I happened to be visiting Santa Fe.       ============       All, I'm a journalist writing with The State Hornet — student run news site       at Sacramento State Uni (where Bill worked for 41 years as mentioned). I'd       heard that he knew FZ when they were kids, but my source wasn't sure of the       story he related when        Frank died.              Bill recently passed and I'm writing up a story about his life and affect on       the community. To stumble across this GEM of a thread has made my day. I'm so       grateful for the nerds (I'm one, this is not an insult) that archive anecdotes       like this and keep        stories like this alive. Also amazing to be able to read Bill's words       confirming things like this even after he died.              Thank you all. Be well.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
