Big kudos to my mentor at Bowdoin, Thomas Cornell, who constantly encouraged and enabled me to pursue my lifelong passions for the arts & sciences. I’m working on an essay about Tom’s superb artwork, which I hope will inspire him as he’s inspired me for so many years! He’s a great teacher who values the art of lifelong learning as much as he values learning about the arts and their countless applications for growing our lives.

Also, endless thanks to my Bowdoin friends, Joe McDevitt, Leo Dunn, Kevin Bubriski, Paul Smith, Stephen Hannock, Bobby Hannum, Scott Boyce, David Gruenbaum, Ann Ireland, and many other incredible characters who’ve shaped my character! I’m sure some of these pals drew on the “glass paper” in Coles Tower, too. As I recall, it served as our make-shift studio space!

Namaste
