Pages: 1 0 replies

this actually came out of the paper (chicago sun-times 11-19-07) a few days ago..just gettin round to posting it now...

Memphis, Tennessee......sculptor John McIntire gave 700 vintage hawaiian shirts that he collected over the past 50 years from yard sales and garage sales, never paying more than $5 a shirt,to the memphis college of art where he once worked....the shirts are to be auctioned off to raise money. McIntire, age 72, gave the shirts to the college to make room for a new studio in his home. He said he won't miss them, despite having worn one everyday-"i'll just start collecting them again!" The school plans to sell them to benefit a scolarship fund in his name...

no info in the article about when and where the auction will be....perhaps someone in those parts can chime in....now is your chance to get that perfect tiki covered hawaiian shirt you been lookin for!!!
