When Dave Samuelson died Oct. 3 after a decade-long struggle with prostate cancer, his wife, Trudy, lost her husband of 55 years and the Mission Valley lost one of its best-known artists.
“A big part of my life has a hole in it,” said Trudy last week as she prepared for holiday festivities with her family.
In honor of her husband, she has organized the Dave Samuelson Memorial Art Drive and is collecting art supplies through Jan. 5 at her business, Mission Valley Properties at 101 Mountain View Dr., St. Ignatius. Contributions, including crayons, markers, acrylic and watercolor paints, will be donated to schools in St. Ignatius and Charlo, as well as the Boys and Girls Club.
