October 16, 2010

My name is Laura (Masserman) Kaminsky and I was saddened to learn of Borys's death today while doing some research on the internet. I worked in the Advertising Production department of Stereo Review in the early-mid 1960s and we occasionally collaborated on layouts. I also remember feeling somewhat intimidated by his brilliant mind and artistic talent. He knew I was particularly fond of his woodcuts, and he generously presented one to me when I was married in 1965. It still hangs in our dining room today. My deepest sympathy to the Patchowsky family for their loss.
