Frankfort,

: During this same trip to
Chicago
, I made my way down to
Frankfort
,
Indiana
and met
with Bill and Flo Caddell. This was a really
significant day since it was the announcement of Bill’s retirement as Director of the Frankfort Public Library. I have
included a recent picture from Laura Bush’s award presentation to Bill earlier this
year at the White House recognizing this amazing Library. Flo, who is also the Arts Director, forwarded a personal invitation to me to
be a part of the next exhibition at this prestigious library.

Magazine Article
In July, Canadian Brushstroke Magazine published an article from our
June interview . The publisher, Susan Blackman, did an extraordinary job in extracting the
theme for the article entitled” Documenting your Artwork”. What a daunting task, because you know me and how I love to talk. On a national level, this is a milestone and sure
to bring some great exposure. This magazine promises to be a godsend for Artists bringing
them into the Canadian public spotlight. And the subscription is free.
