I'm sure this is one truly great art teacher. But I must mention another great Volusia County art teacher (now retired): Mrs. Laurie Gomon-Ring.(She was my idol when I was a kid.) And for creative writing: Miss Sylvia Beasley. Now, dear readers: Can anyone guess my age?

I went to college with Steve and his sister Kathy. They are both so talented.

His mother is Kathy Bohman. She was my art teacher, as well as Mr. Hardock. They're both extremely talented people, and have influenced greatly my artistic ability.
