Penland days are filled with individual discoveries, risky leaps of faith, and lots of per - sonal and professional growth. Challenges are the stuff we are made of. Celebrating the creative spirit in each of us is what we do. Our workshops are inventive and engaging because of the combined energy of inspiring instructors and dedicated students. With your support, we continue the legacy of this great educational experiment, bringing people together from all walks of life. Some students use Penland to reinvent themselves or to advance careers and build strong networks. Many young people use our workshops to supplement their college education or to fill a gap year. There are those whose professions lie elsewhere, but whose hearts and hands seek the special experience of participation in Penland’s creative community. If you’ve never taken a Penland workshop, we encourage you to do so. It’s the best way to fully appreciate “the Penland experience” and how it can change lives. Penland attracts students of all skill levels, of a wide range of ages, and from varied cultural and ethnic backgrounds. In fiscal year , students came to Penland from forty-nine states and worked alongside students from Australia, the Bahamas, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Peru, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Among our instructors were artists from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and Peru. This diversity makes for engaging and wide-ranging conversations in the studios and the dining hall. Costs continue to be the greatest hurdle for many who want to take part in our pro - grams, making scholarships increasingly important. With your help we were able to provide financial assistance to percent of our students.
Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Introduction
Many friends helped to advance The Campaign for Penland’s Future. In fiscal year , the campaign raised $ , , . As we print this annual report, it has raised a total of $ , , from foundations, , individuals, and organizations, businesses, or other types of donors. We started an ambassadors program this year to enable former students and instruc - tors to share information about Penland in a simple and accessible way. A PowerPoint presentation with a script and instructions can be downloaded from our website. In this inaugural year we had twenty volunteer ambassadors whose presentations reached more than a thousand people. We also produced Artists for Penland cards that anyone can have on hand to pass out—the cards are easy to distribute to potential students from a studio or classroom or sales venue like a fair or festival. The Penland story was shared at several events across the country and internationally. Jean McLaughlin and Rob Pulleyn We thank friends Steve and Ellen Le Blanc (Santa Fe, NM), Drew Oliver and Eve Perry at the Sculpture, Objects, (West Jefferson, NC), Polly Allen (Chicago, IL), and Mina Levin and Ron Schwartz Functional Art + Design fair in (Raleigh, NC) who hosted events for Penland in fiscal year . Penland hosted a trip Chicago. to Japan in which twenty-seven travelers visited artist studios, gardens, temples, and museums in Kyoto and Tokyo. A meeting with the Asian Cultural Council presented leaders in Japan with artist opportunities available at Penland. The Association of Israeli Decorative Arts sponsored a trip during which Penland presentations were made to stu - dents at Bezalel Academy, Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, and Tel Hai College. Please enjoy our annual report and accept our most sincere thanks for the part you have played in our success. Your support had a direct impact on the creative lives of , people served by our programs. Their experiences start at Penland and spread throughout our country—and the world.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Workshops
Workshops have always been the core of Penland’s program. These intensive, total- immersion classes offer a uniquely effective way to learn. Focusing on one subject with few distractions allows students to absorb an incredible amount of information in a short period of time. Penland’s guest instructors are full-time studio artists, most of whom generally teach only in workshop programs like Penland’s; or they are college or university faculty who are normally available only to students in their home institu - tions. Each year, about half of Penland’s instructors have taught at the school in the past—creating continuity in the program. The other half are new to Penland—which helps keep things fresh. In fiscal year , the school offered workshops in books and paper, clay, drawing and painting, iron, metals, photography, printmaking and letterpress, textiles, and wood. There was also a workshop in making public art proposals and one in writing and illustrating for children. Among the summer workshops offered were classes in Japanese bookbinding, printing on clay, neon sculpture, early-American hardware, Asian metalsmithing, paper sculpture, leatherworking, guitar making, building wooden boats, and one in which students created forms, made molds from those forms, and then cast them in both porcelain and glass. In the fall and spring, the format expands to eight weeks, enough time to create a body of work and advance skills to a whole new level. These longer workshops are sometimes used to accommodate ambitious projects, such as the spring class that gave clay students a rare opportunity to build a wood-fired kiln. Students in these long sessions are joined periodically by people taking one-week workshops. In fiscal year , Penland’s fall and spring sessions offered a total of fourteen eight-week workshops Student Agnes Camara Raynes and twenty-three one-weekers . cutting a linoleum block in a class on relief printing and letterpress taught by Laura Richens.

Student Rachel Goolsby, studio assistant Sophena Kwon, and instructor Charllotte Kwon working in the textiles studio during Charllotte’s summer workshop on natural dyes. Charllotte is the director of the Maiwa organization, and she has studied indigenous textiles and natural dye materials all over the world.
The content of each workshop is determined by the instructor in consultation with Penland’s program director. Instructors write the descriptions used to market the class - es, and it’s easy to see by scanning through them how diverse and personal the program can be. David Chatt, who makes sculpture from tiny glass beads, told potential stu - dents, “I have invented techniques, variations of techniques, and variations of variations. Now you can learn what I have learned and lose track of huge chunks of time in pur - suit of the perfect beaded curiosity.” Glass instructor Pablo Soto suggested that “some - times we have an elusive idea that is spoiled by a simple formality we overlooked dur - ing the making process or because we couldn’t find the mark that would have made the piece perfect.” And blacksmith David Court explained, “blacksmithing is a direct process in which the maker controls the results by attention to detail and diligent appli - cation of muscle energy.” Although Penland offers some workshops tailored for advanced students, most of them are open to students of all skill levels. It is a testament to the generosity of Penland’s instructors and the flexibility of the workshop format that these classes routinely meet the needs of beginning and experienced students at the same time.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Core Fellows
Penland’s core fellows arrive as emerging artists to explore choices available to them as they pursue lives—at Penland and beyond—as independent artists. They bring adventure, openness, and intelligence to Penland’s workshops and studios where they experiment and create new work. They are also the lifeblood of the school: working on the grounds and in the kitchen, running events, collaboratively installing an annual show of their work, and engaging with workshop students, staff, and instructors on a daily basis. Selected through a competitive process, Penland’s nine core fellows live and work together for two years while crafting their own exploration of time and materials. More than two hundred artists have participated in the core fellowship program. Four core fellows culminated their fellowship in February : ceramicist Bob Biddlestone, clay and metal artist Rachel Garceau, metalsmith Seth Gould, and metal - smith and furniture maker Jack Mauch. Returning for their second year were Zee Boudreaux, Liz Koerner, Michael Krupiarz, Rachel Mauser, and Molly Spadone. Four new core fellows arrived in March of : Audrey Bell, Sarah Brown, Angela Eastman, and Will Lentz. “Penland definitely is a magical Wes Stitt place and I’ve had a wild two years here,” says core fellow Rachel Mauser. “I’m a book artist and when I arrived at Penland, I found that book artists usually know letterpress and how to make paper. Before I came here, I’d never done either. In addition to my experiences in the studio, I’ve also learned the vocabulary of craft. I remember getting here and hearing people talk about ‘slip casting.’ I had no idea what that was! Now I know exactly what it is and how it’s done. I’m so much more familiar with the language of different crafts, which means a lot to me. Being a core fellow at Penland is an incredible blend of being an artist, a staff member, a student, and living in a very close community. Everything is intense: Core fellows Liz Koerner and Jack Mauch with the beautiful table they made for the new core so much more than I think it nor - residence.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Scholarships
Each year, almost half of those who attend Penland’s workshops do so with some form n o s l i of financial assistance. Most of the school’s scholarships come in the form of work-study W n e r or studio assistantships, both of which require the student to do some work for the u a L l
e school during their session. There are also a number of full scholarships that do not have i r A a work requirement, and in Penland created a new class of partial scholarships, which give students a $ , discount on tuition. Penland also partners with other institutions to create scholarships, and there is a program of discounts for school teach - ers and local residents and who take unfilled spaces just before classes begin. In fiscal year , generous donors provided Penland with ten new scholarships, six of these are annually funded while four will be funded through new endowments. In all, students received work-study scholarships, were studio assistants, received full scholarships, and had stand-by discounts. Thirty college and university students attended Penland with the support of scholarships partially funded by their academic institutions, and ten recent graduates of the North Carolina School of the Arts received full scholarships funded by the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts. Penland scholarship programs are made possible by donations to the annual fund, foundations, the sale of work at end-of-session auctions, Penland’s general operating budget, and individual scholarship endowments. For a list of specially funded or endowed Israeli designer and silversmith scholarships, see page . Amir Friedman received a scholar - Ariel Lauren Wilson ship from the Association of Israeli Decorative Arts, to attend Jana Brevick’s 2012 metals workshop. “When the workshop began,” he said, “I felt as if I was walking inside my own dreams.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Archives
For eleven years, archivist Michelle Francis tended the Penland School of Crafts Jane Kessler Memorial Archives, named in memory of former Penland trustee Jane Kessler. Collected and preserved in its holdings are photographs, correspondence, administra - tive notes, news clippings, publications, art works, objects, and ephemera dating from Penland’s beginning in the s to present day. In September of , Michelle Francis retired to pursue her own letterpress work, rounding out a thirty-eight-year career in the archive field. In a letter to her colleagues on the occasion of her retirement, she wrote, “Without a doubt, my work here at Penland has been the most personally rewarding I have undertaken. I passionately believe in the importance of the creative process. To have been a part of an institution that is committed to helping people live creative lives has been a great privilege.” Documentation is part of sustaining creative life at Penland and a component of that documentation involves Penland’s role in the historical craft movement in Western North Carolina. This is at the heart of the Craft Revival Project , a collaborative web- based digital history project launched in that led Michelle to the digitization of many of Penland’s earliest records and photographs. Selecting and organizing Penland’s contributions to the project, and making Penland holdings available to researchers trac - ing the story of craft in our region was critical to her. When asked if there are images of Penland that are especially potent for her, two pho - Michelle Francis in the Jane Kessler tographs from the archives came to Michelle’s mind. One is a s snapshot of Memorial Archives, which she carefully Penland founder Lucy Morgan, stepping over a stile and smiling. “Just a snapshot, one tended for eleven years. of those charming moments captured,” she said. Another image that resonates for her is a photograph of ceramicist Cynthia Bringle in the early s, throwing a pot during one of the first clay concentrations while her students look on. “The students are look - ing so intensely at what’s she’s doing,” Michelle said. “And today you see the same inten - sity of attention in Penland students.” This is something Michelle has seen firsthand many times—most recently in the summer of , when she returned to Penland to work as her friend Lisa Blackburn’s studio assistant. It was a workshop in bookmaking called Simple Books, Endless Possibilities. Thinking of Michelle Francis’s movement from her career as Penland’s archivist to creative time in her home letterpress studio, that title fits just right.

The Penland Gallery and Visitors Center presents work in all media by artists affiliat - ed with Penland. It hosts work by Penland instructors and others, and provides infor - mation to those interested in Penland School and its artists. Twice-weekly tours of the campus are organized by the gallery staff. The Penland Gallery also connects prospec - tive patrons with Penland artists and advises artists on selling their work. In , the gallery presented four special exhibitions and launched a new exhibi - tion series, the Focus Gallery, which shows work by individual artists for four to six weeks in a newly created space. The Penland Gallery played a key role in 0 to 60: The Experience of Time through Contemporary Art, a collaboration between Penland and the North Carolina Museum of Art. Dan Bailey’s Looking Down: Penland School of Crafts was installed in the Penland Gallery lobby in April . The gallery provided information about all of the 0 to 60 installations on the Penland campus and coordinated an opening reception and tour with artist talks for the installations. Gallery staff also assisted the artists during the installation process. The Penland Gallery attracted , visitors during fiscal year . The gallery exhibited work by artists, generated sales of $ , ( percent of this went back to the artists in commissions), and individuals experienced Penland through tours organized by the gallery with the help of a newly revised guidebook for docents.
Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Facilities
Walking up Dora’s Trail (the main drive through campus), it’s easy to see that Penland’s facilities and grounds team is always at work. With acres and struc - tures, the team is responsible for painting (and repainting), repairing, replacing, plumb - ing, pruning, plowing, installing, and more verbs than we can pack in this sentence. In fiscal year , design development was completed on the books, drawing, and painting studio with Cannon Architects. The new Northlight complex, which will house photography and papermaking studios and a social hall, moved through schematic design with Ratio Architects. And design was completed for the new core fellows house, also by Ratio. Former core fellow Ian Henderson designed a relief tile wall for the house. The wall will gather solar heat in the winter. He created the patterned tiles dur - ing an Arts/Industry Residency at the Kohler Co. in Wisconsin. He was assisted by for - mer core fellows Daniel Beck, Andrew Hayes, and Mark Warren (see photo on page ). During the winter, a climate-controlled storage facility, designed by Dail Dixon, was built to create much-needed professional storage for services, archives, art donat - ed to the benefit auction, and other purposes. In addition to a number of completed building-reserve-fund projects, the facilities crew supervised the design and building of a walking trail from the top of Penland’s central campus to the top of Otter Knobs. The trail, which is . miles long with a rise in elevation of feet, was built by Trail Dynamics of Brevard, North Carolina. It was named in honor of potter, book artist, poet, and teacher Paulus Berensohn.

Donor Profile: Jim Hackney and Scott Haight Jim Hackney and Scott Haight have no trouble explaining why they support Penland. “We just think it’s so important for so many reasons,” said Jim. “We are craft collectors, and we see the importance of Penland as a leadership place providing training for the next generation of artists, but it’s much deeper than that. We see Penland as a place that gets it right: the way people are treated, the atmosphere, the good food, the creative conversations, and there’s a respect for all different kinds of people. The whole feeling that’s created at Penland makes it the kind of place we think needs to be nurtured and supported. It represents something we wish the rest of the world could be more like.” Jim first visited the school more than twenty years ago when he was working in development and communications at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC. He was on the visual arts panel for the North Carolina Arts Council, and participated in site visits related to the funding Penland receives from the council. After he left the Mint Museum to join an Atlanta-based firm that does fundraising consultation for organizations across the country, he returned to Penland to help shape the Preserve Penland campaign, which raised $ . million dollars for the school between and . Since that time, he has taken several classes and attends the auction regularly with his partner, Scott, an insurance underwriter who has also been a student at Penland. “Penland is one of our philanthropic priorities and it’s in our wills,” Jim continued. “But we are not wealthy. We didn’t inherit a lot of money; we are earning the money we give away. Penland spends a dollar as well as any nonprofit I know of, so Scott and I know that the money we give to Penland will be spent wisely and will go toward some - Scott Haight and Jim Hackney in front thing that is really creating excellence.” –Robin Dreyer of the Weaving Cabin at Penland.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April Andrew Glasgow Writers Residency
Resident Writer: Christopher Benfey As the writer selected for the Andrew Glasgow Writing Residency, Christopher Benfey was at Penland for two weeks that spanned two sessions and included the July parade and a massive thunderstorm that left the campus without power for a day. He began an evening program by reading a poem he wrote about the power outage (see page 41 ). and followed that with a series of readings from his recent book Red Brick, Black Mountain, White Clay, which intertwines memoir, family history, and cultural history. Christopher is the Mellon Professor of English at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. He has written a series of books about American arts and letters and contributes regularly to the The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Book Review, The New Republic, and other magazines. I had a chance to sit and talk with him about his stay at Penland and began by simply asking for his impressions. “Well, I’m in love with the place,” he replied. “I came under the best possible circumstances: I was invited with no clear duties beyond interacting with people and doing my work, doing a reading, and soaking up the vibes. I guess the biggest surprise for me has been a sense of shared pur - pose between Penland and Black Mountain College. Now that I’m at the center of American higher education—as acting dean of faculty at Mount Holyoke—I spend a lot of time thinking about where American education has gone wrong and what glimmers of possibility there are in the past for a different way to do things. “We live in a time where the stress is so much on testable outcomes. Places like Black Mountain and—as I can see it and feel it now—Penland, are places that have, I think, Writer Christopher Benfey watching a great urgency as alternative paths. There’s some kind of irony in the fact that some of demonstration by clay instructor our most experimental and exciting and truly alternative schools started at the time of Martina Lantin. the Depression. You know, in times of scarcity when civilization has gone down a few dead ends, you hope that those are going to be times of some kind of creativity, some kind of attempt at finding another way. And that, miraculously, seems to have happened in the s. “Our own, post- or maybe post- response seems to be retrenchment. It’s almost as though all our schools now are vocational schools in the sense that they are preparing students to be part of a kind of highly productive social machinery. And we know at some level that’s crazy, that’s not why students have been coming to American colleges and universities for the past sixty or seventy years. So I’m sort of hoping that we will see soon, if it’s not happening already, a sense that we need to breath some sort of new spirit into higher education. “So I think Black Mountain and schools like Penland came up with this idea of these short residencies where people are trying new things starting now! Sunday night, go! You barely get moved in and we are already doing it. There are demonstrations, instruc - tions, and doors opened by highly skilled artists, and the students are just pushed in and, go do it! And if you mess up, so what? A lot of people here have talked about being nonjudgmental but with high standards. It’s like these twinned energies. You can fall flat on your face, we aren’t giving grades, but we still have high standards. And in some ways the educational world I see is almost the opposite. It’s like the grades are so important and the standards are almost a different thing. “So my overall sense is that people have a wonderful time here and it really feels like—it really is— an experiment in education.” –Robin Dreyer

The auctions that take place at the end of each session are an important source of support for Penland’s schol - arship programs. For more than fifteen years, David Little (second from right) presided over these auctions as MC and auctioneer. David died suddenly of a heart attack in the spring of 2013. Through these auction he helped Penland raise more than a mil - lion dollars for scholarships. In addi - tion to being an excellent auctioneer, he was always up for a bit of fun and was never thrown off by the enthusias - tic silliness that is often part of these events. We greatly miss his presence.

Scholarship Student Profile: Kayo Yokoyama It’s impossible to miss the ghostly trees in Australia-based glass artist Kayo Yokoyama’s recent work. Frozen in the surface of the glass, Kayo’s engraved branches and leaves evoke both rootedness and groundlessness—two impulses present when she talks about her time at Penland. Kayo first came to Penland in as an Isaac and Sonia Luski Scholarship recipient. The award is given annually to provide a full scholarship to a student of exceptional tal - ent for a summer session. Kayo joined a workshop taught by glass sculptors Richard Meitner and Michael Rogers. “Being given the time to work was amazing,” Kayo said of her experience. “Working in the evenings or anytime, without any constraints, was real - ly valuable.” This grounded time reconnecte d her with her own roots as a glass artist, which she set down in the late nineties, when she first stepped into a public glass studio in Japan for a workshop. In the summer of , Kayo returned to Penland as a studio assistant for a class taught by fellow Australian glass artist Masahiro Asaka. Being back in the studio with an artist she knew was freeing to Kayo, and supporting students drew her to explore with others the potential of the medium in new ways. Kayo laughed heartily when I asked about her strongest memory of the summer, and then recalled the freak thunderstorm that flooded the glass studio and felled a tree nearby—a time she won’t forget, as it sent everyone in the studio scattering to block the water coming in and to get the kilns back on. Something about the event—and how everyone in the studio leapt into action to keep the space Kayo Yokoyama, who received the intact—is etched in Kayo’s definition of Penland. “It’s the people you meet at Penland, Isaac and Sonia Luski Scholarship, being around other people and artists, that is unique,” she said. working in the Penland glass studio. Looking closely at Kayo’s trees in glass, one senses the importance of place in her work—places where one can enter a more meditative space, and sit apart from the ani - mated world for awhile. “Penland is a long way from Australia, and I’m so glad to have been able to travel there twice,” she said. “I hope to make it back.” –Elaine Bleakney

Donor/Trustee Profile: Barbara McFadyen Barbara McFadyen first heard of Penland when she was an undergraduate student mak - ing jewelry in an independent study, and the name stayed in the back of her mind as she pursued jewelry-making after college. She apprenticed to a silversmith in Vermont, moved briefly to New York City for enameling school, and then sought out masters in the field. “I wanted to branch out into my own voice,” she remembered, citing the per - vasive influence of medieval design in cloisonné (an important enameling technique) at the time. This desire brought her to Penland for her first summer workshop in . The word “cloisonné” comes from the French verb “to compartmentalize.” However, since her first Penland experience, Barbara’s relationship with the school has resisted compartment or closure. Her life has become intertwined with Penland. As a young artist, Barbara put aside plans for an MFA when the good news of an impending adop - tion of a baby girl came through for her family. Suddenly a mother, artist, and wife, Barbara found herself styling her own graduate-level education with Penland as a main resource for her study. But life, like art, takes unpredictable turns. When her husband died from cancer, Barbara found creative work impossible, and she took ten years away from making. When the impulse returned, she turned again toward Penland. “Penland is my restart button,” she said. “It surfaced as a place to come for healing and for restarting my career.” Barbara McFadyen working in the Over the years, Barbara has become a vital part of the Penland family: serving on the Penland metals studio. board, and extending—through her family foundations—generous gifts for Penland’s metals studio, the new Northlight building, the Teaching Artist Initiative, and others. As we sat together in the upper metals studio, talking about her deep engagement with the school, she beamed. “Penland has a creative energy, magnified by everyone who comes here.” Fifteen workshops later, Barbara’s relationship with Penland evolves. Her husband, Douglass Phillips, has joined her, taking workshops in the wood studio. And in the sum - mer of , Barbara will teach her first Penland workshop, in enameling. “Penland’s done so much for me,” she said warmly, before heading down to the lower metal stu - dio again to work. –Elaine Bleakney

Warning: this is the most complicated caption in this publication. The boat in this photograph was made during a wooden-boat building workshop taught by Tim Lee. The whole class worked together on this project. Penland supplied the materials, and the boat was donated to the annual benefit auction. In this picture, auction volunteers are moving it to the Northlight lawn where it was displayed.
The guy with the balloon is Dan Bailey, who spent many days at Penland in 2012 making low-altitude aerial photographs with a camera attached to a helium bal - loon. After the volunteers set the boat down, Dan reeled the balloon up a ways and captured some images of the volunteers standing around the boat. This picture became part of his installation titled Looking Down: Penland School of Crafts, which was part of the 0 to 60 project, a collaboration with the North Carolina Museum of Art. You can read a little more about that project on page 10. To see the interac - tive digital version of Dan’s piece, visit penland.org/lookingdown.

Penland School of Crafts Annual Report May ‒ April In-Kind Donations
The folks on the left are students in the spring clay class that built a new wood kiln for the school (see inside cover). They are mixing concrete for the arches of the kiln. Driving the forklift is Jim Wunch of Larkin Refractory Solutions in Lithonia, Georgia. Jim had done some consulting on the kiln and got quite interested in the project. On the weekend when the arches were cast, he drove up from Georgia hauling his gas-powered con - crete mixer. He also brought some spe - cial refractory materials and served as forklift driver.

Volunteer Profile: Lee Rocamora On a fall afternoon, when the leaves were just hitting their peak reds and yellows, Lee Rocamora drove over to Penland to talk to us about his work as a Penland volunteer. It took him thirty seconds to get right to the quick of things: what makes him so devot - ed this place. “It captured me,” he said, simply. Lee’s steadfast connection to Penland twists like a mountain road. He grew up in Asheville, where his mother’s love for glass and glass collecting made him aware of Penland early on. By the early nineties, he was actively collecting art and meeting sup - porters, donors, and artists tied to Penland. “And it just sort of went from there,” he notes. “Getting to know Penland artists and the thoughts behind their work—the per - son behind the object—that’s so important to me.” Lee, who is a doctor of internal medicine, lives in Blowing Rock with his partner, John Thompson. He now practices medicine solely pro bono and gives countless hours to Penland’s development office. He serves as doctor on call at the benefit auction as well as helping with preparations the week before. He does registration and acts as “the money man”—taking payments— for all eight annual work-study scholarship auctions. “He’s one of the team,” says development associate Nancy Kerr. One of Lee’s favorite volunteer activities is getting on the phone with artists to thank them personally for their donations to the Penland benefit auction—over phone calls. “Engaging with the artists, talking about what their contribution means, and keep - ing people engaged with Penland is something I enjoy,” he says. I asked Lee if he’d ever taken a Penland workshop. I was expecting him to say yes, but he laughed and shook his head: “No, I’ve promised Cynthia Bringle that I will— Dr. Lee Rocamora outside the development probably in photography, which I used to pursue.” We’re putting this in print, so there’s office, where he has spent many hours no turning back. The photo studio will be lucky to have Lee’s generous presence. volunteering. –Elaine Bleakney
