We loved Redd for years Gary Houghtaling and him were long time friends thank you Mr.Redd.

Mr. Redd and St. James Baptist were so generous to share their talents at Staunton Augusta Art Center’s Art in the Park which I organized for 14+ years as executive director. I looked forward to visiting with Mr. Redd because he always took the time. His big smile and energy never ceased to amaze!

Fond regards, Judy Humphrey
