COMMISSIONED BY:  Professor Stanley L. Becker IN CALENDAR YEAR TWO-THOUSAND+THREE-(2003)
Professor Stanley L. Becker
Bethany, West Virginia, USA:     https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mainetoday-pressherald/obituary.aspx?n=stanley-l-becker&pid=169534311&fhid=6223

"We" met Stanley Becker at a social event at which many guests were wearing white ties and formal tuxedos (men)
and formal evening dress and pearls (women).  "We" were at the point of leaving the event when Stanley
~who "we" learned years later had been hanging with his buddy Charlotte Chambers~and asking her advice about whether
 he ought to attend the social event in question or not~
arriving in Hawaiian-printed camp shirt and shorts demanded
"our" IMMEDIATE attention and an appointment for "the next day"~to "paint a commissioned portrait of Saundra"~
who ABSOLUTELY _HATED_ having herself photographed "ever"
~and therefore he had "only" _ONE_ "ancient" sepia-tinted passport photograph of his beloved, deceased wife
~who he claimed "haunted him" at his home in Bethany, West Virginia, USA.
The "rest"~as they say~is "history."


We are saddened to report that in 2015 our technical staff "discovered" "a portrait" posted on a certain internet site
~that clearly violates the copyright laws of The United States of America in effect here~
on THIS web page.  The portrait was posted on the internet by a Yale MBA that directly replicates the
sepia tints in this original painting-work of art with _ZERO_ "credits" _ZERO_ "attributions" ascribed to
"our original work of art"~NATURALLY.  "Naturally" to-date precisely_ZERO_ "permissions" have been granted by
"us" for a reproduction of the sepia tinted "style" employed in the creation of this original work of art.

"Naturally"~since the Yale MBA has "better internet marketing skills" than "we" possess~
[the authors of this site] have been "seen"~since 2003 (calendar year two thousand+three
than "we" might ever "dream" of "possessing"~"ever"
~all over the internet~as "the" copyright violators
-NOT The Copyright Violating Yale MBA in question.  We have even received mail accusing "us" of
copyright violations~from "interested bystanders"~Yalie [?] friends [?] of The Yale MBA cited here.
