THOMAS M. DICKERSON

Tom Dickerson was the most influential person in my life because he really loved my art. He advised me to go to New York and study Art there. I will never forget him. He was my High School Art teacher and he was wonderful. I left Wichita in 1978 and only returned in 2017. I wish I had reconnected before his passing. I did study Art both at WSU and then graduated from UW in 1981. He was one of the kindest human beings I ever knew. RIP Mr. Dickerson.

I didn't know Tom personally, but his mother Betty and his father Bill. I studied with Betty for many years and she had some of his work which I admired. Rest In Peace Tom.

When I arrived in Santa Fe in 1977 to build the Indian Art Research Center at SAR, Tom was a big help to me and gave sage advice from his store of ceramic knowledge. RIP.

I am sorry for your families' loss. Please accept my condolences. I hope the passage at James 1:13 is a comfort to you all.
