2GN2S


When I should have been researching a bit for this 2GN2S, I got distracted with a headline, "Hey Dad, Can You Help Me Return the Picasso I Stole?"

A painting that went missing in 1969 turned up at a museum’s doorstep before the F.B.I. could hunt it down. No one knew how or why — until now.



The Picasso fell off the proverbial truck. It vanished from a loading dock at Logan International Airport in Boston and wound up where it didn’t belong, in the modest home of one Merrill Rummel, also known as Bill. In fairness, this forklift operator had no idea that the crate he tossed into his car trunk contained a Picasso until he opened its casing. In fairness, he didn’t care much for it; he preferred realism. But now things had turned all too real. F.B.I. agents were hot on the trail of a hot Picasso unavailable for public viewing, as it was hidden in Rummel’s hallway closet. He and his fiancée, Sam, began to panic.




The story is too long to post, but I found it fascinating, so if you can want, it's here.

When the framing started they went and wrote bible verses 
on the wood of their future home. Their faith is strong.

 Their home will look out over a large sports park, no houses.




Exciting.

Again one of your ingenious - just a few pieces - collage. Jacki, I love it.
Now I'm already looking forward to seeing the finished house of your Grandhunk#1. I'm sure you'll post some pics? Wishing the young couple all the best.
