a trip to the archives

I'm in Glenview, IL, alone in my parents' house, eating really, really well and looking through old things, and I just came upon some treasures.

During my high school years I worked for the Park District in summer camps and after-school recreation programs. Every summer I had a group of 10 first graders. Every day we would do art, swim, and run around. On the first day of camp I used to ask them how old they thought I was. Usually they thought about it pretty hard before landing somewhere around "Fifty-seven??"

Art matters. These are some of my favorite paintings and multi-media work from the kids. All rights reserved.
