SHANA BURTON:
MY NAME IS TOM ZOVICH.
I AM AN ATTORNEY IN LONG BEACH, CA.
AT LEAST 10 YEARS AGO, I WAS DRIVING ON THE "ROAD TO HANA"
AND STOPPED FOR DINNER AT MAMA'S FISH HOUSE. LAHAINA GALLERIES
WAS THEN FEATURING OIL PAINTING BY GEORGE E. LEE & THEY WERE
HUNG ON THE WALLS THROUGHOUT THE RESTAUANT. "THE HUNTER" WAS SPLATTERED
WITH SAUCES FROM PEOPLE EATING IN THE RESTAURANT. I WANTED TO PURCHASE
THE PAINTING, BUT THE GALLERY INSISTED THAT IT BE CLEANED & TOUCHED UP
FIRST. LAHAINA GALLERIES (WHICH STILL HAS A FEW OF YOUR FATHERS PAINTINGS)
SENT THE CANVAS TO YOUR FATHER (THEN IN OREGON I BELIEVE) AND REQUESTED
THAT HE DO THE CLEANUP ETC. HE DID & THEN SHIPPED IT TO ME. IF I RECALL
CORRECTLY, I THINK I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PAINTER WAS PREVIOUSLY A "DISNEY" ARTIST. I'M SURE THAT THIS HAS TO BE YOUR FATHER.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH A LARGE FRAMED OIL CALLED "THE HUNTER" WHICH
DEPICTS A 3 MASTED WHALING SHIP ANCHORED SOMEWHERE OFF MAUI.
I HAD IN SHIPPED TO ME AND IT CURRENTLY HANGS IN MY OFFICE IN LONG BEACH.
MY OFFICES ARE IN A TALL OFFICE COMPLEX AND I LOOK AT THE QUEEN MARY
ALL DAY (IN ADDITION TO WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING).
THE PAINTING IS APPROXIMATELY 4 FOOT TALL AND SIX FOOT WIDE AND IS A VALUED
TREASURE. IF YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE MORE & DIRECTLY, MY EMAIL ADDRESS
IS ZELAW@EATHLINK.NET
