COMMENT #2 FROM MARY ROBINSON, DIRECTOR OF THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES MUSEUM IN MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA:
Bobby,
I forgot to tell you, Jeanne was awarded the title of Master Artist at the Five Civilized Tribes Museum on Saturday. This is the highest honor we give to an artist that has excelled in their artwork. The program began in 1973 with Willard Stone, Fred Beaver, and Solomon McCombes becoming the first and today we have a total of 37 artists in the program. Jeanne is well deserving of this title, her work if proof of that.
Thanks including me.
Mary... See More

I'll have to pick it up. I haven't bought Playboy since they interviewed Gabriel García Márquez back in the early 1980s. (That's why I read Playboy--the interviews!)

Gaspar, oh to be a fan? It means you get bothersome facebook notes from CPP every time we got some news or an event is taking place or a new book is out or some such. You could do the same for your painting exhibitions. I'd be your fan. In fact, I am your fan. By the way, that facebook portrait of you: Is that a painting?
