IN MEMORY OF LESTER
Another
great master Engrosser has left us. It is with great regret that we report the
sad news of the passing of Lester Lincoln Fields. His lovely wife, Ruth, wrote
as follows: "I lost my beloved Les on July 28, 1984. He is sorely missed.
Also is enclosed a check to cover the extension of subscription to The Penmen's
News Letter. L. L. enjoyed it so much, so please keep me on the mailing list.
He was one person who truly enjoyed his work and had been at it since he was a
young man. On June 1 he was 91, so it would seem safe to say that he was a
dedicated penman. I now have the painful responsibility of deciding if, when
and where and how to dispose of his rather sizeable store of art-related
materials. Sincerely, Ruth W. Fields."
Mr. and
Mrs. Fields attended our convention when it was held at
Lester
did superb work, but he was so very humble about it. He was a partner of
