September Newsletter is online

The latest newsletter is online now.    It is dedicated to Tom Henry, Caroline's husband that passed recently.   We will all miss Tom as he has had an active presence in our group for many years, not as an artist but as a volunteer and supporter of our activities.  

  I first met Tom setting up the take in procedure for the big Spring Show some years back.    He trained me and some other new members.    He was busy all over the big room, but when we needed a question answered he or Caroline would dash over and settle the problem.     I appreciated his common sense approach, his sense of humor and his seemingly boundless energy.     One year I took my grandsons to the open studio tour, and visited the Henry home to see the art set up in the family room and garden.    This was our last stop for the day, and I'm so glad we decided to go there.     It was delightful.     Caroline was working on a new watercolor painting, and others were on display.     Tom was out in the garden meeting and greeting people and pulling an occasional weed.     Then I remember another time at the Spring Show when Tom was looking very smart costumed as  "Harvey"  (LOL) the six foot pooka.    

Caroline, we offer our condolences to you and the family.   He will long be remembered fondly by many.

The newsletter is THE place to go for what's happening, and Pepe sprinkles the pages with many links we can follow for more information.       Thanks again Pepe.
