I finally bagged a copy of Frankly Speaking after much searching and the photos inside reveal that Vic was indeed quite the artist! The photographs of Vic sculpting the nude model were somewhat dubious, as he was so far into the sculpture that I can't really imagine the model's presence being necessary, but hey, he was a salty old dog. Once I finally get around to getting a scanner, I'll post the pics. Trader Woody
