Kathy’s voice

As I prepared for Kathy’s art exhibit reception this coming Saturday, I knew there was a video tape somewhere of Kathy talking about her art. In 1990 or 1991 she was working with Pam Wilkins, an artist representative specializing in corporate and healthcare art placement. One of her pieces was sold to MassMutual Insurance for their headquarters in Springfield. To introduce… Read more →

Installing Kathy’s exhibit

I guess the biggest news is that I was able to install Kathy’s exhibit last Thursday and overall it looks good for a library show. But I know Kathy would be proud of it and probably embarrassed at the attention. Here are some photos of it. At the reception on September 17th, there will be a few sculptural items there… Read more →

Reunion: A stop in Bethlehem

MUSIC: I decided that since I was driving to the reunion in Georgia I might as well try to hit some open mics on the way. I figured, “It’s my vacation, too.” I have never “gone on tour” as a musician. Since there were so many church coffee houses in New England Kathy and I could commute to most of them.… Read more →

The Reunion: the photos and attic memories

I just returned from a reunion with Kathy’s family, the Snyder’s. They rented a really big house in Northwest Georgia (close to Chattanooga, Tennessee). Once I got there it was great seeing everyone and relaxing. But vacations are a lot of work (at least for someone who forgets how to vacation). I am starting to get busier with my design… Read more →
