Neither Natsoulas nor Villierme would comment to the Bee regarding the settlement, but others involved in the case backed the suit's allegations.	+ A couple ["frozen yogurt"] places are just around the corner, just FYI.

However, Blair does not believe that it is conclusive that Natsoulas himself forged the signatures. - *Very interesting. Now, it would seem Villierme is famous again. At least in Davis. As for Natsoulas physically taking brush to canvas and forging the signatures...it just goes to show he is an artist at heart. -- ["Users/SolidSender"]	+ == Community == + The John Natsoulas Gallery sponsors more events than any other Davis Gallery.
