From: Laurel Pye. I came across vernon's name and signature in my deceased mother's (Ardis Thompson Pye, Pa) art book from univ of Chicago 1941-1942.

As an artist myself I'm sure I would have found Vernon to be an exceptional person and artist had we met. Hope his art and legacy inspire you as much as my mother's art and life continue to...
