National Wildlife Artist, Bob Hines.

I am researching Bob Hines (1912-1994), the former National Wildlife Artist for the US FWS. In 1975 Abercrombie & Fitch selected Hines' salmon design for its National Fishing Stamp and collector's print. Another of Hines' designs appears on the 1982 Virginia Wild Turkey Stamp. I would welcome information on the release of these two items.
