We both graduated at the same time (Aug. '62), from Southeastern State College, Durant, Oklahoma. I went on to teach art in the public schools of Carlsbad, N.M. I achieved a master's degree in painting and printmaking from New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM, in 1967. I am now retired and am painting at the easel full time. We live in Elephant Butte, NM where Patsy is serving as a newly elected city council member. I am a cancer survivor and live everyday to the fullest. I have a renewed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and praise His name in all that I do. I have a childlike curiosity about the world around me and hope that stays with me the rest of my life. My art depends on it. I would like very much to hear from my old school friends, close or otherwise. Sincerely, Dave
