Gerson - neighbor, friend, teacher...
you will continue being an inspiration to all.
In my AP Art History, Ceramics II/III (Honors), and 3D Studio classes on Monday, September 9, 2013 I dedicated the week to you. You will always be with us, and, obviously, especially Bill, through your art and positive attitude.
Gerson and Bill, our beloved "boys", are in our hearts everyday.
