DISCOVERING A RIC GLAZER-DANAY SCULPTURE IN WOODLAND HILLS

2010  THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES

A great thing about the artist Richard Glazer-Danay is that he still has so many friends and admirers in the San Fernando Valley. This gives those of us who admire his talent, the chance of wonderful surprises, like seeing this John Wayne sculpture pierce in recently in the home of a mutual friend. Ric made the piece for a lifelong buddy, who served in the United States Marine Corps in the Vietnam war.

       Greg Petrello notes: "Our family moved to Encino when I was 14 years old and Jonh Wayne lived a few blocks away on Valley Vista & Encino Ave. I remember climbing his fence and going up to his door to get a autograph. He was not home but the maid gave me a signed photo on Mr. Wayne. All can say is "Where are the John Waynes" today?"
