  • Newsletter 3Rd Quarter 2020
    3rd Quarter September 17,2020 PRESIDENT’S LETTER When I took art welding under Tom Gingras at ACC, it was a great as well as transformative experience. Not only did I learn to sculpt, but also found out I could sculpt. I had the best of teachers, but don’t tell Tom I said that, it will just go to his head. I, of course, was the greatest student he ever had. One of the most important things I learned from Tom was that when you start on a new sculpture, you will have drawn it out or otherwise framed it in your head, maybe downloaded a few pictures to guide you and you start--with enthusiasm--sometime by forcing yourself. After a while, a partial frame begins to take place and before you know it you are about 20-30% along. Then you hit a wall where you hate your work and want to tear it down or commit it to the back corner. However, Tom said, if you will just push on by this negative creative barrier, (there must be a psychological name for it) your work will “come together”. When finished, even if it turns out different than you imagined, it becomes acceptable or God forbid, you may even like it. I have found Tom’s words to be true for me time and again and I am grateful for his insight. Patience with oneself needs to be learned as well as patience with others. So in this age of Covid, we are trying to be patient.

He comes from a family of leaders: his parents, Scott and Bonny Stevens, were honored in the November issue of The Jewish Voice “Up Close” feature for their Jewish community leadership and volunteer work. As is the tradition for this award, Nathan’s selection was announced at the Federation’s 2020 Annual Meeting – but there was nothing traditional about this year. Instead of accepting the award from a podium, Nathan spoke via Zoom from his living room, surrounded by his three sons – Jonathan, Mathew, and Jacob – and wife Letty, an active volunteer who helps Nathan carry out his ideas and plans. On September 19, the couple will celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary. Just as Nathan learned from his family, he and Letty have become role models for their boys about the importance of participating in their Jewish community. “Jonathan is already looking forward to MSTY (Temple Mount Sinai’s youth group) and hopes to make a difference in his community,” Nathan says. “And the other day, Jacob said ‘I miss Temple – I want to go!’” Nathan’s early years were spent in Bitburg, Germany, and El Paso as the Army took his father to both cities.
