This is Paula and Rita, two inmates of my free-for-all study hall period during my senior year. To say the less than a dozen students who comprised this class had a lot of fun would be an understatement! This shot also made it into my senior year book for 1979.

Two young trees in our yard. I used Derwent pencils...I am trying to find a few good green combos, I do like to mix them so they are not so green, mixed more like the real nature greens. One of the best benefits of painting it that you really see. You see so much more detail when you really look. I appreciate viewing anything so much more then I did ten years ago. I am thankful for that gift. Oh well. This is strathmore 400 series, I actually think I like it. 5" x 7"
Kennedy Library has eight glassed-in group study rooms that we call Collaboration Rooms. Located on the second floor of the library, students can reserve the rooms up to two weeks in advance. The rooms include large modular tables, many chairs, white boards and 48" flat-screen monitors that can hook up to computers or display information from thumbdrives.
Lego weekend to raise money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
6th and 7th August 2011 at Holt Hall (Field Studies Centre)
A fun weekend for children and big kid adults, including displays and scenes made from Lego, along with many Lego related games and competitions, a Lego Play Area and bouncy castle. Refreshments were available for the adults while the kids looked at the displays etc.
On Sunday 7th a Lego auction was held, for many of the exhibits, some pieces signed by celebrities, including one signed by Stephen Fry, a custom built TV studio.
Members of the public were asked to make a donation and sign Lego bricks which were made into a tower, if it’s tall enough a picture will be sent to Guinness in a bid to set the world record for the largest tower of blocks signed by different people.
The organisers will have to wait a few weeks for the record attempt to be verified.
An estimated 4,000 visited the event - raising upward of £10,000 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
A study I did in PS from a photo I took at Dr. Sketchy. Working on my digital painting skills. Never got around to finishing so I guess I should just post what I have.

“Particularly with mental health there is a stigma - isolation from the normal relationships. But change is a community project. Healing is a community project.” – John K John, founder of the Biblical Counseling Trust of India. BCTI's courses train church leaders, like these two pastors, to meet the pastoral counseling and mental health issues of their communities.

Kennedy’s Ecological Program studies several facets of alligator health, including nesting. The center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses 140,000 acres that provide a habitat for more than 330 species of birds, 31 mammals, 117 fishes, and 65 amphibians and reptiles.

As you enter the Study Centre, double doors lead to the message center and fan off to the stairs, the garden, library and meeting room.
18 months and concentrating so hard on the flowers.
I think I may need to re-edit this one, leaving a slight yellow reflection under her chin.
Finally got to see the American Chronicals Norman Rockwell exhibit at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This is a temporary exhibit available for viewing until May 27th. It did not disappoint!
Experimented a little bit with light to create the evening mood and the colors....used my rechargeable desk lamp as the light source, no flash used...original time of the shot is about 8.20 PM in evening in a closed room...
Check it out in the interactive viewer! (flash required)

The Earle Family: Ralph Earle and His Descendants Compiled By Pliny Earle of Northampton, Massachusetts. Printed For The Family. Worcester, Mass.: Press Of Charles Hamilton, 1888.
Pliny Earle Chase [1902-1], after studying in the public schools of Worcester and the Friends' school at Providence, R. I., entered Harvard College without a condition in 1835, graduated with high rank in 1839, and soon afterward engaged in the occupation of a teacher. He had charge of public schools in Leicester and Worcester, Mass., successively, was an assistant in the Friends' school at Providence, R. I., and subsequently taught in Philadelphia, Pa., with the exception of two years, until 1848, when he relinquished the occupation on account of severe hemorrhages from the lungs.
He entered a partnership for carrying on the stove and foundry business in Philadelphia, Pa., and in Wilmington, Del., and remained in it many years, not retiring from it until some time after he resumed the occupation of teaching, in 1861. He succeeded Prof. Cleveland [218] as the principal of a school for young ladies, in Clinton street. In 1870 he visited Europe, and in 1871 was appointed Professor of Natural Science in Haverford College, Pa. He also served several months as acting-professor in the University of Pennsylvania, in the place of Professor Frazer, who had died in office. In 1875, a new chair, that of Philosophy and Logic, was established in Haverford, and he was transferred to it. The subjects now coming under his charge were particularly congenial and agreeable to a man of his mental constitution. On the organization of Bryn Mawr College, Pa., he was appointed Lecturer on Psychologv and Logic in that institution. In 1886 he presided at the commencement exercises of Haverford College, as Acting-President. This was essentially the closing act of the labor of his life. In the foregoing year he had a severe attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered. This was followed by a complication of diseases, in which the action of the heart was seriously affected. He now failed rapidly until his decease, which took place at his residence on the College grounds.
He was the embodiment of the student and the teacher. His leisure time throughout his mercantile life was religiously devoted to the laborious investigation of subjects, both physical and mental, main of which are among the most abstract, occult and profound. The great scope and thoroughness of this research are attested by the one hundred and thirty-five papers by him which, through a series of years, were published by the American Philosophical Society, of which he was a member, for several years one of the secretaries, and latterly one of the vice-presidents. Their titles, with those of his other writings, indicate a wide range in philology, meteorology, physics and mental philosophy. For the last twenty years or more, his investigations were chiefly directed "to the confirmation of the general postulate that 'all physical phenomena are due to an Omnipresent Power, acting in ways which may be represented by harmonic or cyclical undulations in an elastic medium.'" He was a contributor to Silliman's American Journal of Arts and Sciences, the Journal of the Franklin Institute, The London, Dublin and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine, and the Comptes Rendus, of Paris. He published, in 1844. The Elements of Arithmetic. Part First, which was followed by Part Second; in 1848, the Common School Arithmetic; in 1850, another arithmetic, prepared in conjunction with Horace Mann ; and in 1884, Elements of Meteorology [219] for Schools and Households ; Parts First and Second. He also delivered many lectures and addresses and made many contributions to periodical literature.
He was a member of many scientific and literary societies in the United States and foreign countries. He took the degree of Master of Arts at Cambridge, in 1844; the Magellanic medal of the American Philosophical Society was awarded to him in 1864, for his paper on the "Numerical relations of Gravity and Magnetism"; and the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Haverford College in 1876.
Allen C. Thomas, a fellow professor at Haverford College, writes of him as follows:
"He could speak, with comparative ease, six or seven languages, while with the aid of a dictionary he could read one hundred and twenty, including dialects. He was one of the two or three men in the country who could read Eliot's Indian Bible. * * * He belonged to that class of philosophers who are ahead of their times, men who see, though it may be imperfectly and dimly, very deeply into the relation of things, and whose speculations, like those of the Marquis of Worcester, though misunderstood and perhaps even unintelligible to contemporaries, contain truths grasped and accepted by future generations. * * * Rarely does it fall to the lot of any one to meet a purer life, a kindlier heart, a greater simplicity, a more perfect humility. Never putting himself forward, he was always ready to listen to others, and always treated them with kindness and consideration. His own extensive attainments were kept in the background, so much so, indeed, that many of his friends were not by any means aware of the extent and variety of his knowledge."

Eliot Indian Bible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (accessed 10/26/18)
"The Eliot Indian Bible (officially: Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe Up-Biblum God,[1] a.k.a.: Algonquian Bible) was the first Bible published in British North America. English Puritan missionary John Eliot produced a translation of the Geneva Bible into the indigenous Massachusett language.[2] This is the reason that it is also known as Eliot's Indian Bible.[3][4] Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe Up Biblum God and the cover page of the translated Bible means The Whole Holy His-Bible God, both Old Testament and also New Testament. This turned by the-servant-of-Christ, who is called John Eliot.[5]"
