Dan is absolutely one of the most dedicated of all Baltimore's race volunteers. It's a rare event when he doesn't give his services - and that usually only happens when he's already volunteering at another event that same day!

Found!

My sister Suzy used to be an artist's model, but I couldn't find the sculptor's name who had used her to pose as "Eve".


Well, on Monday, my husband and I went up to New Jersey to deal with Suzy's things that had been placed in storage, and with piles of old letters and bills, and paperwork, I found a postcard from the sculptor's studio, with the sculptor's note (& his name spelled correctly!) on it.


"When I am at my best, I would like to believe that the public can feel my artwork reaching to the depths of their souls, as it comes from mine."
- Michael Shacham

This was my sister, in a different time of her life, before the cancer.

They changed something somewhere along the way. Not allowed to view this photo anymore from this link. I'll delete the entire post as soon as I figure out HOW.
