When teaching art at the Hill Country Arts Foundation in Ingram, Texas,
he was the guest at the Lapham Ranch near Camp Verde, Texas where my
mother Ella Maie Lapham lived and she originally brought Fred there to
teach. She was the Chair-Person then and Lifetime Member. I found Fred
very enjoyable and intelligent. He was a fine artist and person and his
paintings are fabulous.
