Alright, you caught me, not a single bug in this post. But... since this is a very special card that I recently received in the mail, I thought it deserved to be posted. Wendy Thornley, an acomplished artist in her own right, just so happens to be my high school art teacher and the reason why I continue to create artwork to this very day. We still exchange holiday cards every year, and every once in a while I pull out her phone number and give her a call. Despite our sporadic communications, she's the type of person I think about often with fondness and gratitude. Every child should be so lucky as to have a teacher like Ms. Thornley in their life.

You're a very lucky artist to be able to include Wendy Thornley as your friend. Wendy has also been a great friend to me as she was to my late partner, Sid Bernard, who also taught art in the Bristol school system. Each Christmas I receive one of Wendy's beautiful photo cards, which I ad to my collection of her incredible photographs.
I was just thinking about Ms. Thornley today. Have you heard anything from her recently? I graduated from BEHS in 1992, and she was always my favorite teacher. I'm back in college now, getting my BA in Art.
