In 1979 my aunt Rachel Stone worked for you guys. She has passed since in Florida. At the time I was 22 years old an I agreed to do some illustrations for the History of Henderson County, Ky from 1888 to 1978 book you guys published in 1980.
ReplyDeleteSimple illustrations such as a man stirring a 3-legged Burgoo pot and other drawing like the Weaverton Mill, a church etc.
She told me for doing that for you guys I would receive a copy of the book and I agreed.
I do not know if she actually had the authority to make this arrangement, but because she was my fathers sister I did this for her. Long story short, she moved to Florida and I never seen her again until my fathers funeral in 2003. I never received the book I contributed to and in good faith promised.
I have no contract or anything legal, only her word. With that being said, I really do not expect you to honor this. I just accepted the fact I was cheated by Aunt Rachel who worked with you folks at the time.
Honestly, it recently came to me when I found you guys online and seen the cover of the book for the first time. I went to the Henderson library and there they were in your book. My Illustrations.
My request is to either make good on her promise (the honorable thing) or give me information where I may be able to purchase one reasonably.
Contact me by email if you care to speak to me about this. I would very much appreciate it. If you email, I will give you my phone number. My email is t27roberts@att.net.
I appreciate your time.
