Is this a re-do of the original, Ron?

Quite a cast of characters there on the Bulldog Tavern Wall. Only ones I think I see are Bing Crosby, a clergyman, and a Gonzaga basketball player. Those three could fit together --Crosby went to Gonzaga and he played a priest in one movie, at least-- but can't get beyond that. Any story there, Ron?

These were taken years ago when the artist was putting them on the wall., I have one somewhere showing the complete wall, but I can't find it. The originals have been painted over.
There was an article in the newspaper about repeating them on another wall, not near as good as the original.
The name of the tavern has changed also, The old name was the 'Bulldog. But Gonzaga university sued them and had change it. The Bulldogs is the name of their mascot for the football team.

BTW- I took these pictures in the 80s.--- or maybe a little later?????

No Phil, not a re-do, he started with a blank wall. I wish that I could find the pictures I took when it was all finished.
