Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Happy Birthday stamp issued April 20, 1987. A toddler sits with legs dangling in his high-chair surrounded by doting relatives ... an elderly woman stands to thank those friends and loved ones who have remembered her once more. Birthdays ... what special days! Days to celebrate the simple joy of being alive. And a day we can enjoy indulging in being fussed over: the cake complete with candles, the lovingly wrapped gifts, the phone calls from near and far, all from those who care and thoughtfully remember our very special day. Birthdays, of course, also mean a certain extra interest in the daily mail. Whether we are celebrating our own birthday, or the birthday of someone dear to us receiving and sending birthday cards is a meaningful way to express our love and best wishes. This artwork carries the birthday theme in a clever, colorful assortment of packages, each bearing a letter of the message everyone gets to hear once every year. Image Size: 14 x 12 in.

• GOLFING WITH ROBERT, BOBBY & IKE Lots
  GOLFING WITH ROBERT, BOBBY & IKE Lots 909-925 in this auction are associated with the golfing life of Robert Woodruff. Georgia like Scotland is ?golf? country. Nothing heralds that fact more than the Grand-Slam championship of Georgia?s favorite so - Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. and, of course, HIS golf course in Augusta. The Augusta National Golf Club, a 365-acre site also referred to as the ?Masters? was founded by Bobby Jones along with Clifford Jones in 1932. It is perhaps one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world. Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones and Robert Woodruff were very close friends with each sharing personal and professional associations throughout their individual lives. Bobby Jones regularly enjoyed the ?relaxed? venue of Ichauway Plantation as well as the other Woodruff residences, and it was under Bobby Jones? direction that the famous Capital City Club birthday party for Woodruff achieved its enviable success. Their close association is self-evident in the birthday letter from Bobby and Eisenhower to Woodruff. Bobby Jones was also very close to Dwight Eisenhower encouraging Ike to play at August - it didn?t take much prodding - and regularly helping to develop that ?winning? swing in the President?s game. Golfweek in its December 1999 issue declared Eisenhower as ?Golfer of the Century.? In hindsight, Bobby Jones, Dwight Eisenhower, and Robert Woodruff were 20th century America?s Three Musketeers, as was apparent in their camaraderie. Bobby Jones would also make sure that each of his books was duly signed and inscribed to ?Bob? - some of those are in this auction as is the only known remaining Robert W. Woodruff monogrammed golf club in private hands.
