Wilson. Two, 1989
Farrar was my first art instructor at San Jose State in the late 70's. He was wonderfully talented painter and a dedicated teacher. He was the first professor to introduced me to the drawings of Egon Schiele and Gustave Klimt. Farrar left a deep and lasting impression on me as a young student. Leslie, thank you for the email. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Leslie, I didn't know your father very well, just spent a few weekends as a young teen with you on your visits with him. Your eloquent and loving tribute to Farrar has helped me understand the strong bond you two shared both as father-daughter and through the deep appreciation of the arts. He was a gentle soul and it warms my heart that he so enriched your life. With love to you and Jody, Diana

Leslie and Jody, so sorry to hear about your Dad, he was one of my professors at SJSU (BFA in Painting/MFA in Computers in Fine Arts). He was a great mentor, loved the field trips he took us on to his Bernal Hill SF studio and the gallery tours - left a lasting impression.

A year has passed since my father's death and it's just as poignant now that he is no longer with us. I miss him so much. Leslie, his eldest daughter
