Sam liked to tell people, ``I'm one of the few people you'll ever meet who actually saw Buffalo Bill. He was laid out in state there in Denver, in his coffin, and I must say he looked great.'' </div> <div> Sam loved watercolors, and he loved golf. He was a resident and member of the local art scene since the 1930's. His paintings have been compared favorably to the works of the great American artist John Marin. </div> <div> Sam authored <I>Tales from the Taxi</I>, a collection of sketches and true stories from the golden days of that great Carmel institution (still going strong), Joe's Taxi, for which Sam drove a cab for many years. Sam was also famous for his hats. Chris Casey, a writer for the newspaper <I>Coasting</I>, once described Sam as ``artist, teacher, character, taxi driver, and famous hat rack.'' Eldon Dedini described Sam as ``the hat that drives.'' </div> <bR> <bR> <div> Copyright: Claypoole - Freese Gallery 2006</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
