Dear Luedke relatives, I have started this series of drawings and thought you might like to see them. I am looking for more old photos to draw, especially ones of my Luedke aunts and uncles. I have been in touch with some of you about that. I am toying with the idea of an exhibit in Faribault, if a venue can be found. Hope you all enjoy these drawings!
