"When Ginger Cook called me and asked me to help her out as an art student, all I could say is , "You must be kidding". The last time I did any painting was in Kindergarten with my hands on a big brown roll of paper, that was in 1944.

But she said that I might just surprise myself if I can just follow directions, so I agreed to meet her in a little town in East Texas. It was a video studio that was temporarily converted to an art classroom with cameras and cords.

There were six of us, me being the oldest and there was a fourteen year old girl, but we all had great fun. And surprise, surprise I was able, with Ginger's help create a beautiful picture that now adorns my living room wall for all to see. When I showed it to my kids and grand kids they couldn't believe old Grandpa did that. They didn't think it a Van Gogh but still pretty good for an old man."
