Chapt 3: Biography: My Art Crimes Involvement


Me with my mentor and dear friend Bobby "Artcop" Volpe at the Salmagundi Club in New York (the oldest artist club in New York which is located at 47 5th Ave, New York). Bobby sponsored my club membership. Bobby was the NYPD’s art theft investigator from 1972 through 1983 and was was the U.S.A.’s first and greatest full time art theft detective.
