Not sure what to say?

Jim gifted many watercolors to my Dad, Chips Bartholomew. They all hang in my home where I enjoy them all. They bring back very good memories! Chuck Bartholomew [email protected]

What a legacy he leaves to so many through a life well-lived. I'm blessed to have had him as a teacher.

"Vegetarian" by James P. Musselman

Just learned this today when I thought to google Mr. Musselman. My sincere condolences to the Musselman family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Mr. Musselman was my art teacher junior and senior year. The art room on the 3rd floor was my home for 2 periods a day, so we spent a lot of time together. He taught me to think outside the box and take risks. A fond memory I have is sitting in my mom's car, in the middle of winter, with snow on the ground, with Ellen Seinfed, sketching the old...
