<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10423276, member: 37&quot;]Jim was an interesting guy.&nbsp; Was a polarizing figure in the state.&nbsp; People either loved or hated him.&nbsp; I got to meet him once and sold him a painting.&nbsp; It was a 1920s painting by a Chicago artist.&nbsp; It happened to be a scene of the Chicago river in a snowstorm that he said was nearly identical to the view outside his post-governorship office.&nbsp; I got $1K for it, bargained down from $1200.&nbsp; This was in the 90s and I was happy with the sale at the time.&nbsp; In retrospect, I should have held on to it. If I remember correctly, I think I had a fair amout into the painting so had a hard time justifying keeping it for myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
