I FORGOT TO REMEMBER

I Forgot to Remember

Artist's proof from 1995

Piece may or may not be produced in the future

Dean was a guest at a secondary market show in Richmond, Virginia, which was put on by the Richmond Ornament Collectors Klub (ROCK). Dean donated the piece to the club to auction off in order to raise money for the charity that their club sponsored. The charity was "Sgt. Santa," a retired policeman who does charity work for the underprivileged in Richmond. He bears a striking resemblance to Santa Claus, with his long white beard.

The event has a hospitality room the evening prior to the secondary show, and they usually have an auction to raise more money for their charity. This particular year, Dean Griff was there and donated I Forgot to Remember. Carol Gunsaullus was the lucky high bidder. The piece changed hands on eBay in March of 1999 for $760.79, and Tracy Martin is the new owner.
