Hello. Over the years I have accumulated 6-7 pieces of framed art by Artist and long-time Lathrop/Manteca resident John Howard Frey (1911-2005). I am keeping a couple that I like, but am ready to donate the others to the City of Lathrop. If there is a desire on your part to keep them, please let me know.
