This painting was commissioned by Mr. Ron Cogbill, a college fraternity brother (my big brother as a matter of fact) at Cal Poly Pomona back in the 60's.    I have to say that it was a joy being asked to do a painting that represented not only an aspect of Ron's history, but of mine as well.   A rare commission opportunity.

Ron also wanted to have limited edition prints of the painting available for other Kappa Sigma Phi brothers who were active around 1965.    A very considerate idea.

Purvis Gallery of Upland California helped me create beautiful 18" x 24" gicle´e (pronounced: ghee-clay) reproductions on canvas.   The signed and numbered Limited Edition of 30 can be owned only by the Kappa Sigma Phi brothers of that era.

Thanks to Ron again for such a fun and personally meaningful project.   And to any of the guys who might find their way to this page. . . .thanks for the priceless memories. (Tarzan)
