and I haven't got any answer. And I know they are still there, because last year I saw this same advertisement of this man in our Star News. So I was talkin' to one of our Star men about it and he said, well, he didn't know. He said, now the best for me to do, say, "You get your Chamber of Commerce to contact the Chamber of Commerce down in California and they will track this man up." But I haven't did that. So-- This is what I will tell you: this man has got about nineteen or twenty of my pictures down there, somewhere. So I-- What I want you to do is get the Chamber of Commerce, like this man said, to do so, and get 'em what of those pictures was sent to him way back in 19--it was in '48--I'm sure it was in '48, or '49. But he's got those pictures. But he's got it all in the name--the writing all in the name of Louis Mack. But--

MRS STARR: Oh. He doesn't have your name?

MINNIE: He has my name that I did the pictures. But of the contract in between the letters, there's Louis Mack. See? And when I wrote to him and asked him--but they haven't sent me any--I put return on them.

MRS STARR: And Louis Mack is dead?

MINNIE: Oh, Louis Mack is dead. Oh, yes.

MRS STARR: Was he a white man or colored man?

MINNIE: Colored.

MRS STARR: Colored man?

MINNIE: That's right. And he was--he was very businesslike, see. He had a college education.
