TEXT:
I was in high school in Chicago in the 70's when I did these watercolors
and was in love with the mountains out west. Now almost 40 years
later, my cousin's kid Anthony is in high school in Kansas and
he's saying some of the same things. But I had a coin collection
and he's a soccer star, and anyway his parents are keeping an
eye on him. Me, though --- I'm keeping my money on him. SUBSCRIBE.
(He tells people he's from Australia, but down there they just
call it Oz.)
