On
Sunday, July 1, 2001, Iris Harbert, House of Peer President,
drew the winning tickets to the exclusive raffle for "Portrait
of An Artist as a Young Bloke" and a "Wimberley
Tales Set" of tiles.
The
pieces were donated to HOP by Harmony Kingdom to help finance
HOP activities which included the HK Reunion at Rosemont. The
raffle, which raised $505,
drew interest as the first winning ticket had the option of
selecting their specific prize. Bryan
Smith of Maryland was the first ticket drawn and he
selected the Peter Portrait as his prize. The second name
drawn had no choice but to enjoy his Wimberley Tales Set,
which he did, even as he unwrapped each tile to have Martin
sign them. Although there was much fuss about Joe
McLaughlin missing the Saturday "Murphy's
Treasure" Puffin Prototype, he was a winner on Sunday
with the Wimberley Tales Set and frame. |
