kjaz reminded me of the Oldenburgs in Minnesota which got me to remembering Duane Hansen who was from Minnesota originally. I was surprised that I was not able to find more about him with a simple google. One of his pieces looked just like my Uncle Granville - I'd love to find a jpg of that one! Hansen's son is a physician here in Seattle and a couple of years ago one of the local art museums had a small Hansen show. It was wonderful.
