Not sure what to say?

Just reading arthur's work in July 8th 1966 life magazine. Good work and a good man.

I admired Art's writing and have A COPY OF THE THREE GORGES PIECE HE DID FOR NAT GEO. I remember his sweet smile and laugh from when we were kids.

I remember "Zichie" (what we used to call him) mainly from Thanksgiving dinners. He had a sweet smile and tilted his head in a charming way. His article in Nat Geo about the Gorge in China ws a memorable one. Im sure he is missed as much as my brother who died ten years ago. They cannot be replaced.

Art's easy wit gratefully made me smile during my cancer treatment.

Big,silly dogs - yes I remember Ponio doing "Hats Off" at Mr. Zich's command at the home in Half moon Bay in the late 1970's. Rest in Peace.

One of my finest memories was opening the Half Moon Bay Review and finding the illustrations of a world-class observer of events, big and small. It was my pleasure to get to know Art briefly during the time we were both in that town, too small for him to stay there very long. I still have one of his original illustrations hanging on my wall. My thanks to Art for sharing his talents with us all.

I knew Art in Okinawa in 1958. Amazing guy. Saw him last in Half Moon Bay, CA. So sorry to hear of his passing....

What a shock to learn that Zichie had died. I had read his work in National Geographic and felt a kinship with him in his empathy for the world's downtrodden people. His work will live on after him. My condolences to all of you who loved and respected him, Dru (Zich) Clarke (cousin)
