Too many of those secrets have "gone to the grave" with some of these old artists, what a shame! Ron (Sutherland) was never that way, always had a protege under his wing and was always willing to share his knowledge and expertise.....A few of the guys he trained caught on quite well, unfortunately they've all moved away to bigger market areas. Always had Ron due my stuff, sprint cars, drag cars, hot rods, even the lettering and striping on a semi or two. My pal Lyle had Ron due an air brushed eagle on the tank of his bike--it was absolutely drop dead gorgeous!!!! When Lyle got the tank back from Ron, he put it in his trophy case and bought a new tank for his scoot!!! Still there now! Wish I would have kept some of the stuff Ron did of mine, or even taken pictures of it. Guess I just figured he'd always be around and always be doing it.......
