Hi Bill - I just got "West Yellowstone's 70th Anniversary: 1908 to 1978" because I thought it might have some stories and/or pictures of Fenn... -
Those are all good points - my best guess would be your #3 point is correct. Perhaps the ones with blue dots were supposed to be given to some person...Leave a comment:

Hi Everyone,
A few people seemed to have been surprised that I had been posting Forrest stories for almost 6 months. So I thought I would provide... -

Thank you - Yes, I can't fully know why Forrest gave me Marvin's book - or let me buy any of the other books. My best guess (in keeping with his idea...Leave a comment:

Hi - Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. The picture is early 2019 - related to the Kleenex boxes, I think Forrest just had the sniffles. ...Leave a comment:

Thanks! I believe the photo is either March or April 2019. So almost two years old - that seems like a life time ago with everything that has happened...Leave a comment:

I always liked the Virginian as well. I don't remember looking through the copy in this photo - probably because the binding looked new so I thought...Leave a comment:

Forrest once told me that he knew (when he was running his gallery) where all 400 Fechin paintings were located. Sharp had produced 10,000 paintings...Leave a comment:

Hi Everyone,
This photo is a slightly different angle of Forrest’s main bookshelves. I never looked at the books on the very top shelf... -
Thanks - I have it as a goal to write more often - hopefully I can do better than I have in the last month.

Hi,
It was interesting because those guys had known Forrest for 30 years and treated him just like you would any old friend. I am not even sure...Leave a comment:
