In the late 1990s I participated with many others in the Santa Barbara, volunteering our services and goods to raise money to purchase this MAGNIFICENT masterpiece. It was beautifully restored and for years I loved looking at it, painting it, riding it with my daughter and other children and people over the years. I still grieve the day it disappeared, without any notice. Whenever I drive by the empty shell, I feel sad it's gone and just hope it's bringing joy to other people, too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
