Among the lesser known facts about West Boulder is that Bill had his workshop and foundry behind the old Arapahoe Motors place on West Pearl Street. We happened upon the place while walking the dog, and visited several times to see what new was going on. We had the good fortune to chat with Bill just a few weeks before his untimely death. A very nice article about Bill can be found here in Westword, so I will not repeat what has already been written. Below are a few pictures of Bill's work which can be found around town and around the country.

I imagine Freud would have some interesting things to say about Mr. Vielehr's works of art.
ReplyDeleteWhy you dirty old man/woman - guessing a man! :-) Nothing Freudian ever crossed my mind, but now that you mention it.....
ReplyDeleteWell, hoosier, Freud did say, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." [Not a phallic symbol.]
ReplyDeleteI guess some folks see sexual meaning everywhere, some nowhere, and we "normal" folks, somewhere in between :-)
