I remember that this guy would paint signs for people. He had a sign in his window that said, "I Was Making Signs Before I Could Talk".
Raymond Dupree was also a great Artist and he painted Signs for people. I remember that he painted the COMER TIGER Sign featuring a BIG TIGER at the corner of Comer's Lot right across from Busy Corner and someone would pour paint all over it and ruin it. He did that about twice and finally they gave up on having that sign.
Has anyone heard from Raymond? I bought an Annual from him when I was in the 10th Grade.
I met him once in a drug store. He said, "HI." and I said, "Yeah!". Smart Dude. He brags on his Uncles on the Forum. Especially the one whose name has those two initials in it (I can't spell it), but I'm pretty sure he's making most of it up about his Uncles. Nobody is that great - so, I'd encourage everyone not to believe him when he brags (on his Uncles)...
