I did not know Tom died. Much love to his family. He was such a formative presence for me at SAIC. I still remember the day in class when he rummaged through my portfolio to find a drawing that literally excited him. He taught me to respect my own marks. As an art therapist these past 35 years, it was one of the greatest lessons I could learn, that went on to deeply influence my work. I still have that drawing from nearly 40 years ago as a reminder. I described that day in his class, giving him the credit he deserved, in a book about my career, "The Magic Carpet Ride, Art Therapy in the `Real´ World: A Reflective Memoir". I remain grateful for him to this day. Warmly, Dan Anthon

Professor Kapsalis was a kind and nurturing instructor who offered excellent guidance to me in my early days at SAIC. I still think of him today.
