Wow, it’s fifty years now since I graduated from Randolph Macon college in 1976 in Ashland, Virginia in Virginia, and I received these stickers in the mail recently.

I loved my time at Randolph Macon College and it was in prt because of Suzie Lykes that was already tgere that I applied and was accepted, thanks Suzie, I appreciate that very much. Suzie in the center with her parents on either side showing me the college. My scratchboard copy if a famous Rembrandt painting in black and white. My acrylic painting I started of Martha Finney at school but never finished, with two chicolate candies given to my by Rich that worked at the @NationalPortraitGallery in Washington DC and that was at a reception there for a najor event years ago. Thanks Rich!
I am including here some collages I just made of different things from that period which include two Stylus editions that I did the covers for. ALSO the gift from @JRivesChilds he gave me, @DiplomaticAndLiteraryQuests published in 1963, signed and dated to me October 29, 1975. Thank you J Rives! I loved coming a d chatting with you in the old library in that room all yours off to the left as you walked in the front door. We shared many great moments and conversations together there. a quiet, peaceful, sanctury to read and feel safe and able to escape into reverie and magic and dreams started in words and turned into sentences and paragraphs, poems, meters of verse, whtever. There is also the picture of my roommate for three years at the #Starrdorm, last room on the right towards the back, as we graduated in 1976! Cheers @JimNemitz, thanks for three amazing years! Also a picture of me out on the fueld before the football field, both pictures taken by Martha Finney, thanks Martha.
