DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am the daughter of Dr. L.A. Kamm, whom you may have known or whose paintings you may even currently have on the walls of your home. (The paintings were just signed “Kamm’,” followed by the year in which they were painted.)

It was my dad’s intention that his collection of paintings be publicly displayed at United Baptist Church upon his death in 2004, but it was never possible for the church to display them. The paintings were kept in storage by the church until they realized they would need to move out of the old building because it was in need of such extensive repairs. At that point, the paintings were all given away.

I had no knowledge of all of this at the time and would very much like to have his paintings in my own home since his wishes were not able to be fulfilled. I would be particularly interested in having “Capitano Donaldo Ducky” and “Michelangelo Mouser.”

If you would be willing to part with any of his paintings you may have in your possession, please let me know. You can contact me by phone at 770-333-0535. Locally, you can also contact Diane Francouer at 783-6881. Blessings. — Lynn Kamm, Georgia

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have found a personal character analysis report signed by Wilhelmine Dumont, a certified grapho-analyst, among my mother’s papers. The report is undated. Would anyone know anything about Wilhelmine Dumont, or the years she worked in the Lewiston-Auburn area? I have the impression my mother had the analysis done many years before she died in 1980. Thank you for your help. — No Name, Auburn

ANSWER: Sun Spots did not find anything on the Internet. Perhaps readers will have some comments to offer.
