This Book 3 as well as all others in the series is dedicated to Harold’s son, Ollie Mitchell. His tireless pursuit to see his Pappy’s work published and brought back to life for future generations of professional artists is one of the many reasons that we at Santorella Publications feel that it is our obligation to forge forward. Ollie touched so many lives in his lifetime, as did his father, but as fate would have it, Ollie was peacefully reunited with his Pappy when he passed away at home surrounded by family and friends on May 11, 2013.
