I’ve collected pictures of my father for the upcoming memorial service and wanted to share them here.  I ask my students in some classes to create presentations introducing themselves to the group. On occasion, I do the same.  As an artist, it is always good to have a handle on where you come from.  Everyone’s family situation and life is a bit different, but I believe we can all find commonalities if we share and get to know each other.  Appreciation of each other is really important to communication and expression.
