...ballads of troubadours who wandered from manor house to manor house. E.S. captured the spirit of it; his saints and sinners, knights and ladies tiptoe through dainty Alpine primroses to dally on wattle fences. At times he was downright satirical. His Samson is a knave in a tunic and Tyrolean hat, his Delilah a Hausfrau who has slipped away for an afternoon assignation. As for St. Sebastian, E.S. portrays him peppered with arrows by a merry lot that looks for all the world like Robin Hood...

...paradigm of the professional military man- dark hair fringed with grey, jaw square and trim, brown eyes alert under thick brown brows. His tunic was ablaze with the trophies of three wars - six tiers of campaign ribbons and medals from battles in North Africa and Sicily, France and Germany, Korea and Viet Nam, as well as the silver emblem of the master parachutist and the combat infantryman's badge...
