While leafing through the February "Maine Antique Digest", I saw on
page 35-A a neat ad in tribute to our friend Mike Kitner. It's a
drawing in 19th-century primitive style that shows Mike's house and
shop as well as his Bruder, Frati, Violano, etc., scattered about the
landscape.
This was a favorite picture of his. He liked it so much, he hung it
in his hospital room. I don't know who placed the ad, but it's a great
tribute.

[ the original drawing for us. -- Robbie
