My inspiration for doing artwork came partly from finding pencil drawings done by my uncle Dale H. Rook during his youth, high school, college, teaching and WW II experiences. He had some of his sports drawings published in the Minneapolis Tribune while pitching baseball for both Hamline University and the University of Minnesota in the 1940s.

He was a P-51 pilot who was shot down and killed on a bomber escort mission over Dessau, Germany on May 30, 1944.
