I ask him about the Brown County, Indiana, art scene.
"I was a great fan of Georges LaChance. You see, I'm not a collector," he says with a shrug. "I've had opportunities to buy all kinds of art through the years but if I didn't like it I didn't buy it. I enjoy art but I wouldn't pay big money for it. That's the way I am."
