Hello from San Francisco,
I was unable to figure how to reply to the replies to my first posting.... but maybe I am
not supposed to! At any rate I just wanted to thank all of you for being so responsive
helpful and warm. At a minmum I am needing to rethink Thatcher's story as it is clear
from his obit that he lived in Indiana from 1943 onwards and he had been married to
Elizabeth Maxine Green for 48 years! So there is no way he could have operated the
"T. Soule Jr." art supply store here in the Bay Area from the 1950's to
1970. Who that Soule was remains to be seen.
Even if the flow of info on Thatcher - or Thatch as he was called there in UC - stops, I
would be happy, with the only potential capper being a photo if one emerges.
But for now, I just wanted to say thanks.
Steve Heimerle
