Conversation with an Early Girard Collector: Mr. Doubleday
Master of Mud (aka artist) and former Center for Creative Studies (CCS), Detroit, professor of art, Bill (William J.) Girard Jr., passed away in 2011. The website created to honor him is found at https://girardsvasari.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- Way back.... on January 31st, 2017, a pair of "third generation" members of the Friends of Bill Girard ( FOBG) community Ms. Janson (J) and Mr. Weikal (K), visited one of the earliest members of that community, Mr. Doubleday (M). The visit took place in metro Detroit. What follows is a modestly redacted version of the transcribed conversation. Transcribed, because it was recorded by Ms. Janson and Mr. Weikal. With their permission, I am providing this lightly redacted transcript. The redactions are intended to protect the privacy of the participants and the sanctity of their respective collections. Perhaps this document will prove of interest to future members of the FOBG and to others
