Story behind this framed picture:

We had a cafeteria being remodeled in one of the Boeing buildings a few years ago. During the tearing down of the interior, they had all the pictures stacked up, except this one, which had a busted frame. I asked the boeing foreman if I could have it, he said yes. I put a new frame on it and have had it since.  It sits smartly near my Nixon Galloway-signed water color art in my home office. :aok
