you may (or may not) remember the celebrated trial between
Jim Franklin and Brett Redbeard (sp?) as to who owned the
multi-paneled Conqueroo Mural painting. Brett is the 
paralysed from an ill-advised dive on to a rock in the
lake gentleman, Jim is the artiste. Brett won the trial.

in this week's Austin Chronicle there is a half page ad
to call attention to the auctioning of this mural on
Ebay.
