Back in April, I received a large packets of materials from C.H.E.E.T.A. which included the following:
Photo of Cheeta, autographed,
Photo of Cheeta & Johnny Weissmuller, autographed (by Cheeta),
Certificate of Authenticity,
Record of Donation, and ...
... an Ape-stract painting, in USMC colors, by Cheeta. Signed by thumbprint.
"C.H.E.E.T.A. stands for Creative Habitats and Enrichment for Endangered & Threatened Apes. Dan Westfall started the sanctuary when he received custody of Cheeta of Tarzan movies fame. He created the desert sanctuary to provide residence, care, and rehabilitation for homeless or unwanted ex-show business primates. There are chimpanzees, orangutans, and monkeys at our desert refuge."
Cheeta is 75 years old these days -- Birthday: 09 April 1932. So, if you would like an original "Cheeta" for your art collection, you had better order soon! You can select up to three colors to match your decor and/or fancy.
