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.

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.

The Huntington’s Waltz
CAREGIVING, MUSIC & LIFE: I started thinking about this song some time after Kathy passed away. At the caregivers support group at UConn, I mentioned how I wish I could “do something.” I was thinking I could be trained to run a support group or advise people. Now I realize that counseling should be done by counselors – with professional training.… Read more →
Updates: “Grievance” counselling and finding work
First some updates from my recent posts: I did have that appointment with my new Gastroenterologist. I have an appointment in late August for my Colonoscopy. Oh, joy! of joys. They had my records of ‘poor prep’ and gave me a new regime of a few extra steps to start a few days earlier than usual to clean myself out.… Read more →
