I did a quick search and I am thrilled to have found your post, albiet a bit late. <br /><br />I was student of Brian’s in the mid 90’s. I had returned to my collegiate studies at Drexel after a multi-year break and was not the typical teenage student. I believe my status as an older student allowed for a dimension in our relationship not found with a true freshman.<br /><br />I had wonderful design classes with Brian but enjoyed the painting classes with him the most. Brian had an impish spirit, an unlimited talent, a curious, open mind, a gentle and kind soul and the remarkable ability to teach what he know with the greatest of care and encouragement and wonder. I will forever be grateful to have crossed paths with Brian and I’m delighted to have been able to find another person in the world who was touched by Brian as well. <br /><br />Be well Brian...I hope you’re collecting cosmic debris to create one hell of an installation! See you again some day! <br /><br />EdAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290203937482169554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-86946642427078360982011-07-13T12:31:28.530-07:002011-07-13T12:31:28.530-07:00What a beautiful post.What a beautiful post.April (Polkadot Sparrow)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15706847821102887162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-3049818954665596802011-07-11T07:21:02.944-07:002011-07-11T07:21:02.944-07:00What a beautiful post about a great mentor!
