I have a1977 sculpture of yours . Could u please tell me how much it is worth ? Thank u !
My husband, Steve, would very much like to reconnect with you. His mother recently passed away and we were looking at old negatives. You were in some and he recalled helping you with an exhibit and that you were a rare individual.
This is a very old response. Please contact me at jamesfuhrman@verizon.net
