happy to help out the school in any way that I can. It seems like
yesterday I was there, happily drawing and painting the day away. I’ve
often thought about AAA when I speak at ArtCenter or to other groups.
Please let me know if you need anything else. Some of my teachers from the
school have had a lasting impact, especially Mr. Parks, my drawing
teacher.”
