I’ve just returned from my show in Elkhart, IN.  My friends Laurel Forsythe and Rod Liechty, who arranged everything with their love of art, drove me by the beauty and football power of Notre Dame and took me to dinner at a Thai restaurant, followed by a preview of my art exhibit.  It was a “win-win” situation.  Laurel’s family and the Unitarian family all had fun and are as uplifted and grateful as I am.

A touch of luck brought two special visitors to the exhibit:  Martha Suggs Spencer and her husband, Willis Spencer, who have built their own museum in Vandalia, Michigan.  Both from slave backgrounds, the Suggs’ Underground Railroad Museum honors Martha’s father, James Suggs.
