I loved that story so much, Chris. I have tears in my eyes, both about how you wrangled the kids into an honest-to-goodness profession photoshoot, and about what a generous man Darryl was with his time and his superstar energy and his understanding of what he was there for.

Thanks, Linda! Glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed the telling. Though the confidentiality required is maddening. Both because a number of the kids have awesome, evocative names, but also the photo mural itself is fabulous, wish I could share. Oh well, the mind's eye will have to do.

What a lovely story! And those are some lucky kids, learning from you. :-)

P.S. I was sad to hear about your former neighbor and friend. I'm sorry for your loss.

Your best one yet, Chris! And what a wonderful artist-in-residence DMC was. Wow. I love the idea of this mural, Chris. You'd be a great artist-in-residence yourself! xx

Aw! Thanks, Celia, from your keyboard to God's ears (or the Employment Managers, whichever comes first).
