I recently took a trip to the wonderful Lincoln Park Historical Society and Museum for presentation on the Artist Zoltan Sepeshy and the mural he painted for the Lincoln Park post office.
Thanks to Greg Wittkopp for the very informational presentation regarding Zoltan Sepeshy and Cranbrook. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and learned a great deal. This was my first exposure to Cranbrook which I had no idea existed. So it was pleasant to learn of
And thanks to Jeff day and staff for taking such good care of this treasured post office building.

Too bad the mural couldn’t have stayed where it was originally.
