Wait'n for Tex

by Roy Grinnell



In this tribute to David Lee “Tex” Hill, Roy Grinnell conveys the extraordinarily strong bond of friendship between “Tex” and General Claire Chennault. You can almost touch the leather of Gen. Chennault’s worn A-2 jacket and feel the steam rising from Tex’s chipped cup, as you study the image. Gen. Chennault’s rugged facial features are softened as he gazes out into the wild blue, waiting for his friend to return.

A portion of each sale will benefit the Nimitz Museum, in Fredericksburg, Texas. They are planning a new wing of the museum which will be known as the China Burma India wing, with part of a wall dedicated to Tex.
