Friends

Darlene and I have been friends since 1975 when we met in a fibers class taught by Dr. Mary Ruth Smith at the University of Houston. We were fast friends, and Darlene later became my daughter's godmother. Darlene and I enrolled in all of Mary Ruth's fiber classes and fell in love with the media. We continued our friendship outside of class. I visited her wherever she moved in Texas. When I moved to Connecticut, we met up in New York. We were fortunate to have a grand adventure in Italy in1997 when we studied at La Romita School of Art in Terni, Umbria. We had 2 weeks of watercolor instruction with Betty Lynch and another week and a half touring Tuscany on our own. We laughed and ate ourselves across Tuscany. What an adventure and it continues...
