Subject: RE: Art Thieme, Historian
Funny you should say that harpgirl. Art, I hope you don't mind my telling them this. I had asked Art for permission to collect his stuff off the Mudcat and put them in booklet form a couple of years ago. I didn't go public with it, but did ask a few others to let me know whenever they spotted a "good 'un" so I could include it.

I got bogged down in moving and in finishing up a different book of my own, but am now back to collecting as I find them. I haven't had time, lately, to search through old postings, but do have a running file of recent postings of Art's.

Of course, IMO, it would be even better if Art was up to dictating a book, directly, and like MMario I would love to help transcribe. I would just like to see the Treasures of Fine Art be preserved and shared and I know there is a LOT more in his noggin than has been posted here! Good call, Don, he certainly is an historian and we all do want to read/hear more!!
