Well the fine people at the Terry Redlin museum thought it would be appropriate to frame the letter and hang it in their lobby. That was about 8 years ago! Well it is still there. Ah, get over it! Here&#8217;s some pictures just took yesterday. (Hat tip, Chris and Jeff). If I wasn&#8217;t so lazy, I would re-type the letter. (If you save the JPG to your desktop and maximize it a bit, you should be able to read it).<\/p>\n<p>THIS IS AN EMAIL I SENT THE MUSEUM TODAY:<\/p>\n<p>I had some friends recently visit your museum to see the &#8216;Illustrations&#8217; of Terry Redlin. Like many of my friends that come by, they always get a good &#8216;chuckle&#8217; out of my letter (nicely framed, BTW) in the lobby. Several of my friends and family have taken their picture next to it. I tell people it is the ONLY tourist attraction in Watertown. Terry has made himself a millionaire &#8216;selling&#8217; his brand of South Dakota nostalgia to the rest of the world, and how does he honor SD for this priviledge? He builds a museum in honor of himself! And I&#8217;m the only other SD artist to be on display there! Fabulous!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"image846\" style=\"width: 525px; height: 290px\" height=\"290\" alt=\"redlin-one.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.25dp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/redlin-one.jpg\" width=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"image845\" style=\"height: 300px\" height=\"300\" alt=\"redlin-two.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.25dp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/redlin-two.jpg\" width=\"544\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years back a wrote a letter to the Argus Leader protesting the naming of a SF elementary school after SD &#8216;Illustrator&#8217; Terry Redlin.
