I tried sending this on the email address listed on your website and later thought it might not be the same one used here and I know you respond to this.
We met at the "Altered Realities" show at Elder Street last month ... I was one of the lesser known exhibitors. Today I was in an art classroom at Faith West Academy in Katy and saw an newspaper article on the bulletin board about you and your mural at Looscan Library. I mentioned to the teacher that we had met and she asked if I thought you might be available to come talk to her students. She teaches all levels from kindergarden through high school, but she was referring to the high school (one class) and/or the junior high school (one class). I told her that I would ask if you might be available so that is what I'm doing. Would you be available to talk about your art to the students? More details to follow if you can do it. I do know that the junior high class is around 11:00 AM (I have two grandchildren in that class.) and that these classes meet five days a week.
Hey Bert,
Happy New Years.
Thanks for the encouragement and kind words.
I appreciate it. You too. I saw the interview of the masterpiece. I will have to go by and see it. I'm no longer on crutches, but still walk with a knee stabilzer brace on.
peace,

JAN.6th, I go to Houston City Hall to receive a proclamation from Mayor for my cultural contributions. I would like to thank all my peers that have accepted me so warmly into the arts community and I accept this award on behalf of all of you.
I planted two types of carrots among many other veggies in my first garden in two years since my bypass and gall bladder surgery and several other medical complications. Feels great to have my hands in the dirt again.

Very long time since I have seen you. I just joined this blog. I have been living in Vegas for the past 10 years. How they do wear on us, no?
Merry Christmas and all the best,
Marc
