Flowers in the Stream- Thus too my lovely life must end-Linda loved that one- I had put it in our high school year book- so many memories of your family and my first mentor. I really tried hard to keep my hands clean- printmaking is tricky

He was a wonderful teacher. I loved going to his class every day, at Auburn High School in the early '60. I have often thought of him and if any of his artwork was displayed at the Worcester Art Museum. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
