Hey All,

By 1980-'81 Andreas was living and painting in Queens, NY. He painted about a dozen frames for us, and I often dropped them off and picked them up. His father was also no longer working for Fraysee, building frames under his own name in Queens. I can't remember if the building and painting were done on the same premises---I don't think I ever met Francisco there when I was visiting Andreas.

There was a guy by the name of Bill Ralph building frames for Fraysee in '80 and '81. He built a few frames under his own name ("Ralph"), but I think left framebuilding and the biz by the mid-'80s. He was a friend of the owners of the shop where I worked, would visit every now and then and built a very small frame for one of the owners. It was the only Ralph I've ever seen.

So--- Cuevas/Limongi/Melton/Molton/Orero/Ralph

Any others?

Cheers,

Paul Brodek Hillsdale, NJ
