Art you are deeply missed. The many hours we spent building that aircraft carrier model when I was a kid were a formative experience for me. I learned that seemingly impossible projects were manageable with the right attention to detail. I´ll never forget that as well as the countless backyard patio parties, holidays, market discussions, and amazing meals. Chicago won´t be the same without you.
