But one day we  drove  up to old  cruise friend Fanch Ledan’s  home  above  Nice  from  Monaco harbor for a nice lunch and auction. Have a   painting he did early as an architect student of  a Manor House done later  as lithographs. Surprise  drop in was neatnick Jean Claude  Picot dean of  French water color landscapers so got one of his as well. He lives down nearer the sea. Gave  me as nice pencil sketch of the Paris Seine bridges.Yeah, Nice’s nize.  But  Henry  Millers spot below Big Sur is  a good visit too and  he welcomed  Dali during  the  war working  with  Uncle  Walt. Got  an applause from Walt singing  Melancholy  Baby at  D’land opera house  his  morning  walk around  Easter week  ’61. Tends to all run together now.  Picasso’s in there  someplace and last  student  Mouly we do collect BIG Oils.
