Spoke with BB just two days ago and found him to be a consummate artist and a true gentleman. It's my pleasure to acquaint... It's also a pleasure to post in the shadow of Jones. Two gifted and influential artists, indeed.
BB Sams was my XO in Vietnam on board the USS Sphinx in 1969. What a great officer and a gentleman. Never knew of his artist abilities, but I was always impressed with his unique signature. It all makes sense now. Michael Weir RM3 USN
I served under Mr. Sams also onboard the Sphinx, 1970. I once "found" the last bottle of black artist ink for him on the base at Nha Be. I remember that signature well! Happy New Year Sir! Dan Pascoe YN2 USN

I grew up near Mr. Sams and remember him to be a fine man and creative artist.
I've known BB since 1950 and he has probably been my greatest influence in Art.

B.B. Sams is a terrific artist and good guy. I had the pleasure to work with him and his artwork is wonderful. Nice pics of a nice man.
Mr. Sams illustrated my story in this month's issue of Highlights. I was SO honored! Really great work.
I went to high school with b.b. and Jeff Jones. They are 2 very interesting men. We built telescopes together.
