Henry

 

Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your day to read my post.  My intent is to put a smile on your face.  Hopefully you’ll go away with some information you may have forgotten about or did not know.  Now sit back and enjoy the post for the day.

Henry was born in July 1898 in England.  At the age of 11 he already knew what he wanted to do when after hearing of another famous person at a Sunday School reading.  However WWl broke out and he joined the army.  He was injured in a gas attack in 1917.  He was discharged in 1919 at which time he applied for and received an ex-serviceman's grant to continue his education. 

Needless to say he was a success at what he did.  From what I've read the cheapest work I could find was valued at $500,000.00 and goes upwards to over 5.3 million.  So my question is what did he do, who inspired him to choose the profession he worked at and what was Henry's last name. 

Well he was a noted sculpture, he was inspired at the Sunday School reading by the reference to Michelangelo and his last name was Moore.  Look him up he led a full life and had many adventures.

Henry did quite well for himself.  More kids should pay attention in Sunday school.

James, I had no idea he was famous and getting those kinds of prices I would say he was very successful.

Just goes to show you never know where your inspiration will come from in life. I think I was inspired by not wanting to starve to death.

Dang...you mean I actually have to work to find out who he was? Heck I was at the office until almost 9 tonight writing an offer on a bank owned piece of crap house. That offer may or may not get accepted, but I worked my tail off on that for my crazy buyer that likes to make me run around every now and then for her. 

Now I have to look up the answer. LOL. I love you, James and what you do on AR. But don't make me look for the answer. I come here for easy times and fun.

James, I still remember Henry Moore from the many art classes I've taken. He became quite successful and wealthy with his sculptures.
