Kenneth Price, ceramist and printmaker, has been an important figure in the "resurgence of clay" in fine art. This renaissance in reaction to the large-scale art of the 1950s and 1960s spurred Price to create small-scale ceramic sculptures. Early cups were often adorned with animals and other motifs, defying artist interpretation because of their seeming directness. The cups evolved with bio-morphic shapes in earth tones, then abstract miniature work in polychrome glaze and paint utilizing geometric forms. Price studied at the Chouinard Institute in Los Angeles, before receiving his BFA degree from the University of Southern California in 1956, studying at the Los Angeles County Art Institute in 1957, and gaining his MFA degree from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1959. He has been awarded a Tamarind Fellowship.

Money Bags From the Teachers'' Union Ex-Chief
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
The Washington Post, Monday, November 5, 2007; Page C03
One woman''s booty is another''s bargain: The ill-gotten treasure chest of former Washington Teachers'' Union president Barbara Bullock went on display Saturday in advance of this weekend''s live auction of the luxury goods.
Bullock, now serving a nine-year prison term, spent approximately $800,000 on these designer purses, furs and pricey knickknacks with money embezzled from the union. The seized items sat in an FBI warehouse until this past summer, when Stephanie Kenyon of Sloans & Kenyon in Chevy Chase sent a truck to collect them for auction, with the proceeds going back to the union. "This stuff is new, high-end, glitzy, luxury, status-symbol-type of material," she told us. "Some of the Fendi purses are really wild."
Bought with embezzled funds, now up for auction. (Courtesy of Sloan and Kenyon)
The purse-obsessed Bullock spent tens of thousands on Chanel, Hermès and Judith Leiber handbags, which are estimated to sell for $500 to $800 at auction. (That''s about a quarter of their original price; ditto for the minks and jewelry.) The top lot: a 288-piece Tiffany sterling silver flatware service (Chrysanthemum pattern) purchased for $100,000-plus and estimated to sell for $25,000 to $35,000. Too much? Well, the Buccellati sterling wine cooler is expected to bring just $3,000 to $5,000. The feds also seized electronics that will sell at another auction -- except for the TV that union officials kept for headquarters.
Absentee bidding already started on eBay; the live auction begins Saturday.

THOMAS JEFFERSON ALS TO SIR PEYTON SKIPWITH ADDRESSED TO: SIR PEYTON SKIPWITH, PRESTWOULD MONTICELLO, DEC. 24 1795THOMAS JEFFERSON ALS TO SIR PEYTON SKIPWITH, Addressed to: Sir Peyton Skipwith, Prestwould Monticello, Dec. 24 1795, An autographed letter signed from Thomas Jefferson to his friend Sir Peyton Skipwith of Prestwould (near Clarksville, Va.), discussing nails Jefferson has been making at Monticello and the current price and market of nails; Dear Sir Monticello Dec. 24. 95. I have just received your favor of the 9th and am sorry it is not in my power to do any thing in the business mentioned in it. I have been authorised by Mr. Short only have have a part of his stock sold and invested in Canal shares & some land; but not at all to settle, pay or meddle with any debt. I retain your account however & will inclose (sic) a copy of it in my first letter and do whatever else he shall direct. probably it will be from 6. to 9. months before I get an answer. The person who delivered your letter has examined my little nailing in [] it; parts, and received whatever information he desired. When I began the business, it was a fine one, but a fall in the price of nails & rise in the price of nail rod have made it less profitable by 20 percent within this 12 month. This you know is a great thing to be struck off from clear profits. I am apprehensive the fall in the price of nails is permanent. The rise of iron, like the rise of price in every thing else we get from or thro' the great trading towns proceeds chiefly from their immense circulation of bank-paper. Those towns are now in the state we were in about 1778, with this unfortunate difference that the [ ]are able to sink the value of the precious metals with that of their paper; whereas our old paper left the metals at their former level. I am with great esteem Dear Sir your most obed't ser't Sir Peyton Skipwith Th Jefferson

John T Hughes DONIPHAN'S EXPEDITION c1851 Antique Mexican American War History Gadsden Purchase Missouri Chihuahua Civil War Officer Title: Doniphan's Expedition; containing an account of the Conquest of New Mexico; General Kearney's overland expedition to California; Doniphan's campaign against the Navajos, his unparalleled march upon Chihuahua and Durango; and the operations of General Price at Sanfa Fe: with a sketch of the life of Col. Doniphan. Illustrated with plans of battle-fields and fine engravings.Author: John T. Hughes - John T. Hughes (July 25, 1817 – August 11, 1862) was a colonel in the Missouri State Guard and Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He might also have been a brigadier general at the time of his death but documentation of the appointment is lacking.John Taylor Hughes was born July 25, 1817 near Versailles, Kentucky to Samuel and Nancy (Price) Hughes. His family moved to Fayette, Missouri when he was very young. He was an 1844 graduate of Bonne Femme College and taught school until the outbreak of the Mexican War in 1846. He enlisted as a private in the 1st Regiment Missouri Mounted Volunteers of Doniphan's expedition and penned his personal account of the trek upon his discharge in 1847.Hughes' book provided national fame and following his return to Missouri in 1848, he became editor of a Clinton County, Missouri newspaper, the school superintendent, militia colonel, and state representative in 1854. He was also a planter and slaveowner.Hughes was a cousin to Sterling Price and like Price professed Conditional Unionism until the Camp Jackson Affair, after which he joined the Missouri State Guard and was elected colonel of the 1st Regiment, 4th Division. He participated in the Battle of Carthage and the Battle of Wilson's Creek. He was slightly wounded in the Siege of Lexington.At the Battle of Pea Ridge in March 1862, Hughes took over command of a brigade from the wounded Brigadier general William Yarnell Slack. Hughes returned to Missouri in the summer of 1862 to recruit for the Confederacy. At this time he may have been appointed as either an acting Confederate or Missouri State Guard brigadier general. No record of the appointment has been found but he was known as "general."He, his recruits, and several other recruiting or partisan bands united to attack the garrison of Independence, Missouri on August 11, 1862 with Hughes in overall command. During this battle (the First Battle of Independence), he was killed instantly by a shot to the head while leading a charge, but the city was captured. He is interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Independence. He left behind a wife, Mary, and five young sons. [Information courtesy Wikipedia.]Publisher: U. P.

Capt. George Randolph Dyer AQM--Lincoln-Signed Commission and Pilot Knob Archive Comprising an early eagle mast head commission partially printed on vellum 12.25 x 15.75 in. matted framed and glazed 14.25 x 17.25 in. dated 21 February 1862 appointing George R. Dyer as Assistant Quartermaster of Volunteers with the rank of Captain. Signed by Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) as President and Edwin M. Stanton (1814-1869) as Secretary of War (1862-1868) with a later conveyance letter from the Adjutant General??Ts Office; plus the earlier formal appointment letter to George R. Dyer signed by Secretary of War Simon Cameron (March 1861-January 1862). The archive portion consists of 31 file folders 24 of which contain primarily wartime personal correspondence coinciding with Captain Dyer??Ts assignment as Assistant US Quartermaster at the Pilot Knob Missouri post. The letters span January 1862 to July 1865 but are scant on details regarding the quartermaster operation at Pilot Knob (in fact Geo. Dallas Dyers??T letters are more illuminating). Additionally there are several pieces of interesting ephemera including Captain Dyer??Ts original 1885 GAR membership certificate from the Baxter Springs Kansas Post No.123 an 1864 dated military railroad pass original telegrams and two manuscript documents written and signed by noted abolitionist and educator General Clinton B. Fisk (1828-1890) a personal friend of George R. Dyer. Rounding out the lot are eleven civilian portraits (five are duplicates) of George Dyer taken between the late 1870s (a cdv) and 1892 (mostly cabinet cards) including one view of the regal old gentlemen wearing his MOLLUS medal. A file of 19th century manuscript Dyer biography and George??Ts printed 1895 MOLLUS ?In Memoriam? pamphlet complete the lot. George R. Dyer??Ts Pilot Knob letters contain no battle content and very little concerning the day-to-day operations of the quartermaster department at the post. There are large gaps in the letters and most consist of newsy correspondence between various friends and family members living back in Chicago Elgin and Plainfield Illinois. Even at the Pilot Knob post the presence of family is evident??"the captain??Ts son George Dallas Dyer worked as a clerk and died there in 1863 while Mrs. Dyer seems to have visited her husband with some regularity during the war. As the tempo of operations moved further south after 1862 Pilot Knob became something of a Missouri backwater albeit for sporadic guerrilla warfare that flared in a region dotted with Rebel sympathizers. The letters hint at legitimate business dealings as the buying and selling of ?contraband horses and mules? became a reoccurring theme. The quartermaster seems to have also speculated locally in food supplies and animal fodder systematically ?hauling it in teams? from a radius around the post. Captain Dyer who frequently complained of ill-heath was able to take leave on occasion and just happened to be absent ?in the North on sick leave? in September 1864 the one time Pilot Knob came under attack during Sterling Price??Ts ill-fated Missouri Invasion. After 1863 Captain Dyer hinted once or twice at pursuing loftier goals ??" a staff position with General Fisk ??" but remained at his post until his resignation from the army on May 15 1865. A few excerpts from the letter collection: September 10 1861 from Patience Huntington Dyer??Ts sister: Not all in Illinois were stirred by the prospect of war and buoyed by patriotism. George sister was terse in her feelings: ?I am about to employ all my powers of argument and persuasion to prevent you joining the army. Under other circumstances it might be your duty. Were your wife in vigorous health and your children (not so young) and your own health firm I would say no word to prevent it??|but our patriotism must not make us forgetful of the virtues we owe to those for whom none can be a substitute??|? Having reconciled his conscience with family responsibilities George Dyer enlisted on October 31 1861. The centerpiece of that decision is the Lincoln signed commission and accompanying War Department paperwork rarely found together after 150 years. January 8 1862 to his wife Elizabeth (Howell Kimball) a long letter: Already Captain Dyer confesses his loneliness writing that the pain of being separated from his children is ?harder than I thought it would be.? He hopes to return home ?some time next month? if he can get a leave of absence. George briefly describes his duties ?I have a vast amount to attend to? and tells Elizabeth that ?George (their eldest son George Dallas) arrived the 2nd day of this month and has done very well since he came??|? He offers some insight into business matters ?We sold 52 horses & mules that had been taken from the enemy I had to sell them. They brought 1300. They were very poor and small (and) sold rather low. Some were good but I did not buy for I thought I would rather send all the money home I could for you.? The letter includes a lengthy list of goods that Elizabeth should bring to Pilot Knob ??" ?towels butter tea a lamp or two? ??" as ?some items can??Tt be had in this country.? He will express his pay ?Only 156 dollars instead of the 200 as I expected but I hope to have George have 60 per month which will help pay for being scattered all over the world.? The family might have been experiencing some financial difficulties as Capt. Dyer then rationalizes the quartermaster job lamenting ?If I can stand it for one year it will help my family some and that is all I am at work for.? He gives some instructions relating to the livestock management at the Plainfield farm and concludes by asking Elizabeth to send ?my cane for it would help me to get through the mud which is very deep.? September 15 1862 to sister Patience: Young George Dallas Dyer has left his Pilot Knob clerkship and joined the army. A proud but fearful Captain Dyer writes ?My poor boy only 17 years old gone to defend his country. Sister he is a fine boy manly as most men of 25 years (see George??Ts military cdv) & capable of doing any kind of business??| He has gone & I hope he will do his duty. He is the youngest man in his company & is the captain. They all like him & I hope he will return the confidence of his company??|? November 2 1862 from Lt. W.F. Crain 5th Illinois Cavalry: A mundane request asking Captain Dyer for his help in locating and recovering ?a dozen lost or stolen horses? from the regiment. The animals were left at Pilot Knob and were due to be returned by cavalrymen convalescing in the hospital. A newspaper article dated January 8 1863 reported on an abundance of new from Pilot Knob giving scope to the quartermaster operation there as well as featuring the approbations of Captain Dyer??Ts peers who had presented him with a ?superb gold watch? on New Years Eve. The correspondent noted ?An air of unusual bustle and activity pervades this usually quiet town caused by the arrival of 300 wagons from General Davidson??Ts Division Army of Southeast Missouri. They are now loading with commissary stores for his army??|? destined for Little Rock. The article quoted the lengthy testimonial ?engraved on the case? and showered platitudes ?Our Government has been blessed and cursed with many faithful and unfaithful disbursing officers but few who stand so noble and deservingly high as Captain Dyer where is known and appreciated.? The author noted that Captain W. L. Banning was ?relieving him (Captain Dyer) of the duties of the Commissary Department from January 1st.? What follows in an extended gap in the letters. The next two letters written to Captain Dyer at Pilot Knob date to June 1863 from a Joliet friend named Willis Danforth formerly Captain Company F. 13th Illinois Cavalry. June 1 1863: Danforth writes at length conveying the conditions in Joliet and mentioning ?speculators and traitors.? He is spiteful of ?Vallandigham Copperheads? and complains that soldiers and those serving in the army get no respect. He mentions Colonel (Frederick A.) Bartleson of the 100th Illinois a local Joliet hero later killed at Kennesaw Mountain and finally asks Captain Dyer to intercede on his behalf with General Davidson as there are ?charges pending? against him ostensibly having to do with a forged signature for payment. Captain Danforth had resigned from the army on February 7. A prominent Chicago homeopathic doctor and medical instructor Danforth would be exonerated and restored as surgeon of the 134th Illinois. He later gained notoriety as one of the five physicians who gave testimony at Mary Todd Lincoln??Ts insanity trial in May 1875. Danforth??Ts testimony was said to be ?particularly damning? to Mary's cause ultimately forcing her into Bellevue Place a private mental institution in Batavia Illinois. In a follow-up letter dated June 9 1863 Danforth wrote of a little known incident in Chicago that fundamentally challenged the very basic First Amendment principle of free speech. The Democratic leaning Chicago Times newspaper had published articles supporting the controversial Clement Vallandigham who had been arrested and convicted by a military court of ?uttering disloyal sentiments.? District commander General Burnside ordered the paper suppressed and publication was suspended under armed Federal guard. Groups of armed citizens from rival political factions begin congregating and troops from nearby Camp Douglas patrolled the streets in the midst of rising tensions and vocal threats by angry Democrats to ?gut the Tribune office? (the Chicago Tribune the Republican mouthpiece). Chicago was a tinderbox and Danforth an eyewitness inferred that ?a single pistol shot fired by some disorderly drunkard would have exploded the whole machine & cost at least 900 lives??"fortunately the occasion passed without any accident.? Danforth added that ?W.B. Ogden (Chicago Mayor) and some few Republican friends joined the terrified Democrats in petitioning honest old Abe to revoke Burnsides order??"which was done the next day & freedom of the press restored and (indignantly) such freedom!? He ended the letter with the observation that ?Chicago is standing still no growth but money is plentiful ? adding that the city is in the midst of ?diphtheria? outbreak. September 19 1863: The long summer gap in Dyer??Ts letters is unexplained. However this original double-sided telegram exchange between Captain Dyer and General Clinton Fisk reinstated Captain Dyer to duty at Pilot Knob. Dyer requested that he be reassigned to the post and General Fisk quickly accommodated ?BG Allen/CQM/St. Louis Mo./ If agreeable to yourself I would be glad if you would relieve Capt. S.H. Moore AQM from duty at this post (Pilot Knob) & assign to the vacant place Capt. Geo. R. Dyer again./(signed) Clinton B. Fisk/BG.? On the same day son George writes his father from Pilot Knob with the news that the captain had been reinstated to duty and included a verbatim transcription of the earlier telegram from General Fisk to General Allen. Attached to the letter is a small 3.50 x 2.25 in. printed ?St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad Pass? filled out to ?Captain G.R. Dyer & family? good for 1864. Also a missive entitled ?4 Rules of Live.? October 20 1863: A extemporaneous tongue-in-cheek three stanza rhyme written on the front of a large envelope by General Fisk to Captain Dyer from ?Head Quarters D.S.E. Missouri/Pilot Knob.? One stanza will serve to convey some unknown but deliberate frivolity at play ?Respectfully returned to Captain D./Who smokes his pipe from dinner to tea/With information from General Fisk/ That playing with sick is attended with [risk].? The playful rhyme hints at some shared secret and underscores the bond between the two officers and friends. November 2 1863: A two-sided letter from brother Dr. Charles V. Dyer who writes from Geneva Switzerland with much travel news from the past several months indicating that he ?had been to Africa to establish my court.? Charles Dyer had been appointed by President Lincoln in 1863 ?as judge of the mixed court at Sierra Leone for the suppression of the slave trade.? November 17 1863: Young George Dallas Dyer died at Pilot Knob on November 13 of gastroenteritis. Captain Dyer was devastated by the loss of his son and this heartfelt letter from S.J. Kimball the husband of Dyer??Ts sister Patience offers sympathy and advice for finding solace ?Look to God for support for the Bible alone can direct us in time of affliction.? December 11 1863: To Capt. Dyer from Uncle Alonzo Huntington. Another condolence letter in the wake of George??Ts untimely death offering what else but more Biblical support. September 17 1864: After another long gap a parting letter from Clerk Charlie Price to Capt. Dyer as he leaves Pilot Knob traveling back to Plainfield on business or sick leave. Price relates an interesting bit of news saying ?the photographer Hunt at Ironton (was) arrested & put in the Guard House last night for feeding secreting & assisting Rebs.? There is no suggestion that Confederate General Sterling Price is poised to invade Missouri later in the month with his Trans-Mississippi Army. Captain Dyer missed the battle of Pilot Knob (September 27) where Price captured Fort Davidson while suffering crippling casualties that allowed the Union army to escape. September 19 1864: Another short letter from Clerk Charlie Price informing the absent Captain Dyer of the state of affairs at Pilot Knob. Price assures Dyer that everything is well and that he will update and keep him ?informed as necessary.? Still no hint of impending battle. September 20 1864: Another short communication letter from the ever efficient Charlie Price ?Everything running in pretty good shape. Rice still acting as Forage master and speculating in hay. We posted in shops this morning the following Order: -NOTICE-/It is hereby positively prohibited to manufacture or repair any other than Government Stores at this shop. Except by Special Order from this Office. All employees transgressing this rule will be discharged without pay and will be reported to the Commanding Officer for severe punishment./Geo. R. Dyer/Capt.AQM.? November 4 1864: A short note on ?Head Quarters St. Louis? letterhead from General Fisk acknowledging Capt. Dyer??Ts request for a letter of recommendation to be forwarded to Secretary Stanton ?in securing advancement for you.? Fisk adds ?I would be glad to see you promoted and trust that you may be signed Clinton B. Fisk/Brig. Gen?. March 8 1865: A full page manuscript letter from General Fisk answering Captain Dyer??Ts earlier inquiry regarding a position on Fisk??Ts staff. The general responds ?I would be much pleased to be able to confer upon you my former faithful staff officer any position of honor or trust within my gift ? but Fisk doubts that he will get another command and demurs without offering a firm answer. ?Colonel Beveridge and the officers of the 17th Illinois Cavalry? are mentioned in closing. Fisk had been brevetted and the letter is now signed as ?Maj. Genl.? The last letter from July 1866 illustrates Captain Dyer??Ts transition from military to civilian life. Captain Dyer resigned from the army on May 15 1865 and returned home to Joliet Illinois. George Randolph Dyer??Ts original hand written biography later edited and published in the 1878 History of Will County is included as is the MOLLUS ?In Memoriam? pamphlet printed at the time of his death in 1895. The first is by far the most comprehensive history of Dyer while the second ??" composed by committee ??" focuses necessarily on his military service and bears annotations in the hand of cousin Mabel E. Green. George Randolph Dyer was born in Clarendon Rutland Country Vermont on June 3 1813 from a lineage of illustrious ancestors going back to 13th century England. Among his early Colonial brethren were Roger Williams of Rhode Island and the unrepentant Quaker Mary Dyer martyred on Boston Common in 1660. Dyer??Ts father Daniel Dyer had served in Revolutionary War and George Randolph later inherited the commission signed by John Hancock. Educated at Rutland Academy in Vermont George trekked westward in 1834 to Chicago then little more than a small settlement and trading post on Lake Michigan followed by his older brother Dr. Charles V. Dyer who later served as post surgeon at Fort Dearborn. George then moved to Milwaukee and during that time aided in the organization of the territory of Wisconsin in 1838. George surveyed ?the Fox River with a view to using that stream as a feeder for the Illinois canal.? In 1841 he sold his Chicago holdings and relocated to Will County Illinois becoming one of the earliest settlers in the area. There he acquired farmland near present day Bolingbrook-Plainfield. For the next decade George and his wife Elizabeth H. Kimball of Elgin Illinois engaged in farming and stock-raising adding to their modest wealth while raising six children. The other characters in our story of our lots sons George Dallas Dyer and Daniel B. Dyer were both born on the Will County farm. Both boys helped to work the property as dark war clouds descended across the land. Sometime during the 1840s George Dyer befriended a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln who was then traveling the state as a circuit rider (1840-1847). There is reason to believe that Lincoln occasionally stayed at the Dyer farm during the decade thus the source of an undefined friendship that survived into the Civil War years. George and brother Charles Dyer became committed Abolitionists during the 1850s and fairly early on family story relates that the George Dyer??Ts Plainfield farm was surreptitiously used as a way station on the Underground Railroad. In 1856 George Dyer was elected Sheriff of Will County residing in Joliet the county seat where he became acquainted with like-minded politicians and influential power brokers of the anti-slavery Republican Party founded in 1854. By 1860 George and Charles could claim sufficient stature as party loyalists to be named electors in the Republican nominating convention where all energy was focused on launching the states??T favorite rustic son Abraham Lincoln ??" soon to be known as the ?Rail-Splitter? ??" on a course toward the Whitehouse. Captain Dyer??Ts war years as Assistant Quartermaster at Pilot Knob are well documented by the important Lincoln signed commission and the letter archive offered for sale here. Following the war Captain Dyer returned to Joliet and according to the History of Will County ?entered the hardware trade continuing in that until 1870 since which time he has not been engaged in active business.? Dyer??Ts earlier letters suggest lifelong health problems yet he lived until 1895. In retirement he must have spent long hours adding to the Dyer family genealogy and perfecting his Will County biography. In March 1880 his younger son Daniel B. Dyer then serving as Indian Agent at the Quapaw Agency saw fit to write and entice his father and mother with a government job teaching at the Indian school. Despite Daniel??Ts solid economic persuasiveness George Dyer apparently declined. By 1884 George and Elizabeth had relocated to Baxter Springs Kansas closer to Daniel where the captain became a charter member of the local GAR Post No.123 parenthetically once more listing his occupation as ?farmer.? George R. Dyer died at Excelsior Springs Missouri on July 13 1895 age 83. He was suitably memorialized by friends and fellow citizens for his ?loyal nature and esteemed service to country? and buried in Joliet Oakwood Cemetery. Descended Directly in the Dyer Family Condition: Lincoln commission is complete and intact without damage or noticeable fold lines. The ink is somewhat lighter than desirable but both Lincoln's and Stanton's signatures are strong enough to read without assistance. The blue seal is undamaged and vibrant. A hint of brown toning is noticeable around the edges. The commission was not removed from the frame for inspection. Except for expected fold lines all letters and documents are undamaged and completely readable. The photographs show varying degrees of wear else fine.
