"Andrew Loomis? I read somewhere that he's one of the major inspiration for Fixler and Orbik?"
I had initially answered
" It is true that there is a big influence and inspiration from Loomis' work, but as far as I know there was no direct teacher student relationship. However I will ask Glen to be sure."
Recently I got an answer to this from the horses mouth, Glen says
"I also hadn't really absorbed the fact that Reilly , Loomis and
Rockwell all had the exact same teachers at their core (Bridgeman and
Dumond) . - I'd never really thought of them as "David" guys as

Wow, that is really interesting! Thanks for putting this together.
Erik - I am super intrigued by the research on the National school and hope you find a whole set of the docs.. The Reilly family tree is awesome - I have seen a Ted SEth Jacobs - centric version that includes all of his students ( Jacob Collins, Tony Ryder, Dennis Cheaney, Michael Grimaldi etc.,) and the relationships ( if I recall correctly) of Rockwell to Bridgman ( monitor I think)..
anyway, thanks for doing that and beautiful drawings as always! - kevin
