I am so glad to hear from you and to receive the pics of your late dad--Earl's-- art. One of them is of particular interest to those of us from the Marcus of a certain era. It is of the train plowing through the snow. Earl painted that after helping the trainmen and others from town clear out the tracks during a blizzard in the 1940's.
