Lost Newspaper Clippings

Richard and Mike were often asked to be a part of newspaper articles and interviews.  Often Mike would decline saying, "I've already got enough work to do." but sometimes they obliged.  There are a few clippings recovered by my sister.   Unfortunately the article itself has been clipped away.

These show some items I would love to see again to get some better photos.  One is another classic horse with it's head out the barn door which the article says was made by Richard.  The other were made by Mike.  The life size eagle had amazing detail of each and every feather.  This page definitely needs some pictures of that in person.


The tea cart and running Pinto were both gifts to my mother and were in our home all our lives.  The Pinto is particularly amazing because of you could see the details he actually carved in the woodgrain of the fake boards behind the stretched hide. You don't think about them when you see them every day but now that I'd love to get serious photos of them they're gone.
