Bev, Sharon and Tony
Sharon Heald belongs to a group affiliated with Chicago's Museum
of Contemporary Art. She suggested the group take a trip to
Milwaukee to see Tony Petullo's Outsider Art collection. They
first went to his private gallery in downtown Milwaukee
where he gave a talk. Then they went to his lovely lakeside
home to view his collection both in the house and the
installations in his garden. Tony and Bev were gracious hosts.
Sharon reported that Tony is donating 300 works of art to the Milwaukee
Art Museum which will make it
the museum with the most important collection of self taught art
of any in this country and one of the most
significant in the world. There is an exhibition of these donated
works scheduled for
February 2012 at the Milwaukee Art Museum. You can learn more about
Tony's collection HERE
One of our STAR basketball players, Bill Sedlacek, is now
doing equally stellar work in other ways. Be sure to click on "Cosas
Extrañas"

Karol Kane Johnston writes: "At 71 and a half years old, Butch successfully
hiked in and out of the Grand Canyon in March 2010.
He trained by hiking over 200 miles of Arizona mountains." Way to
go, Butch! Karol can't keep a good man down!

Whose woods these are I know I know,
He and the Mrs are buried in snow!
They will not hear me barking here
To send you all a little cheer!
Up on the rooftop Ron did shovel
To spare a collapse on their woodsy hovel!

The interesting round objects
on the wall were possibly used for gold mining. Others seem to think
they were shields from
the swallows that return en masse every March 19th!

It was their first meeting after 20 years!
Diane, Susan, Steve and Sharon met in London recently. Steve came from
Versailles
with a bottle of champagne and then they lunched and chatted
