A special promotion
by the Nabisco Company produced a commission for me to do a
painting of Roger Staubach. The occasion pictured here was a
luncheon on a big aircraft carrier docked in New York City.
Often, when I paint, I don't have access to the athlete I'm
painting. I rely on appropriate sources for accurate information
regarding color of eyes, color of hair, etc. With a smile Mr.
Staubach turned to me while this picture was being taken and
said, "You got my eyes wrong." I replied, "No, I believe they're
in the right place." Needless to say,
I was highly embarrassed. |
In 1976, baseball's
National League celebrated
its 100th year. Major League Baseball held a
national contest for the design of the official logo
that would commemorate the season long event.
Guess who won? The late Chub Feeney, then
president of the National League, offers his congratulations. |

The first limited
edition signed print published in 1980 by Perez-Steele Galleries
featured Mike Schmidt
and Steve Carlton. So, in the success story of our company these
photos have some historical significance.
As you can see, it only took three of us to hold up the print.
My partners, as usual, were there for support. |

My very favorite Hall of Famer
is Ted Williams.
I will always treasure the moments I spent with
this man at the induction weekends he attended.
This is one of my favorite photos, even if it was
a bad hair day for me. |
One of the many tennis tournaments
that I
participated in during Hall of Fame weekends.
Standing left to right, are Ted Williams, Bobby
Brown (an excellent tennis player), Bowie Kuhn,
yours truly, and Bobby Doerr. Kneeling are John Harrington (president,
Boston Red Sox), someone
whose name I forgot, John Henry Williams and Bill Gutfarb (Red
Sox executive). I was the guy who
won for most sweat. |
