Myron was my Foundation Teacher in 1974 at Franklin Terrece, he was so funny, never forget an Art Project... create something that can be eaten. I did a Wall hanging. I used to see Myron at Texas Wis Boarder. His name was like no one else, I'm 67and my eyes are full of tears he was a good person, so sorry to hear this. Love to his family. Linda, student from the '70s Franklin Terrece on Frankli St.
