Re: [CBQ] RE: Does anyone know Ivan G. Parks?

Sorry -- the below was sent in error while I was about to explain that I found the info on Ivan on an internet search-for-a-fee site like the the link below.  Perhaps they could provide useful contact info either for Ivan or a relative.  This is the site where I first found him:  http://www.whitepages.com/name/Ivan-Parks.

I hope you are able to track down his drawings.  It sounds like it would be a great loss to us all it they can't be located.

 Yes, that's him.  Frederick was where he was living in the pickup camper.

Randy:
 
Ivan had the drawings in a large wooden shipping crate, filed in some order that he understood, and he was able to access them from that storage container.  As I said, he pulled a number of coaling station drawings and shipped them to me to scan, but I could not afford the cost of scanning the big 24x26-inch tracings in an era when big flatbed scanners were few and far between.
 
It crushes me to think how much has likely been lost with these drawings, but I cannot imagine that they have survived, as Ivan almost certainly has not.

Thank you for the (unfortunately sad) update, Hol. I wish I had been
more persistent/timely in corresponding with Ivan when he moved to
Puerto Rico, but in his last letter to me he indicated the drawings
were all packed away from that move and were not accessible. Maybe
he never unpacked them?
