DescriptionAround 2016, I wandered into an antique store on Long Island where I found a pile of art pages that had recently been offered for sale from the notebook of Staff Sergeant Bourke J Sweeney (1919 - 1997 or 1998) who served in WWII. Sweeney. a Long Island native was also a cartoonist that contributed to numerous military magazines during his service. His art was used in the Midpacifican among other wartime periodicals.Years later his originals found themselves in various hands. I know that a few universities keep them in their records and of course the pages that were found in the antique store. When I went back to that antique store a week or two later the remaining pieces were gone. Glad I picked up what I did of this slice of American History. Social/Sharing |
