My father in law found a historic painting of Sam Houston in the trash 50 years ago. I don’t think it is worth anywhere close to a million dollars but it is hanging over my fireplace now and we love it.

Cool. You’d do even better to have a full length portrait photograph. There is only one known example and it is in the MFA Houston’s collection.

Well, someday when I hear one of the hosts saying "This portrait
of Sam Houston you brought in today is A National Treasure!",
folks at FR will say "Hey, it's 'ditter'!"

Was he the guy that started Sam’s Club? or the original owner of the Houston Oilers?
