A most significant passing, and WESTERN LANDSCAPE PAINTERS, Coeur D'Alene auction

Elie Weisel, passed after a life of burning testament and courage. Is there a pit deeper in human experience than this? Read "Night" and never forget.

He and his family, and his foundation, lost their life earnings in the Bernie Madoff scandal.  Said Weisel: " 
[Madoff is a sociopath and a scoundrel] but I've seen worse."
