- 15:55by to admire his artwork and dropped off refreshments on
- 15:59occasion to show their appreciation. At the same time he
- 16:02was constructing Bloomfield's mural, he was working on another one

- 16:09the heat and the earlier ragin that Maddingly was grateful
- 16:12that folks in Bloomfield were patient with the progress. Quote.
- 16:16I had tons of people come by and either just
- 16:18watch me paint or reminisce about the different things that

- 16:25in the community always came up to see if I
- 16:28needed any drinks, some refreshments, pay me compliments and everything else.
