While I have never been keen on having my picture taken, I don't mind this one, taken the day I graduated from Northern Arizona University, with a BFA in Jewelry/Metalsmithing. Would someone please tell Mr. Hartsough, who told my mother I was not college material, and might not even make it through high school, that I graduated summa cum laude with a 3.89 GPA (I got a B in Watercolor....it was a gift I accepted with gratitude). I think it is a measure of my success in blending that at the Ten Year Reunion for the SPHS Class of 1969, only about a dozen people knew who I was....I spent more time with my horses than I did in school activities. I finished my last year in the juniors with a national championship (AQHA Western Riding), a reserve championship in Pacific Coast (All Around), and the All Around Championship in the California Amateur Quarter Horse Association.....I don't regret one minute, or a single dollar. I graduated from PCC, which I loved, in 1975, with an AA in Art, and accepted an athletic grant to shoot on the Archery team at CSULA. We came in second at the NCAAs, by TWELVE POINTS!!! out of 2,009...Expand for more
