City State ...Zip Code Country • The Craftsman's World A SHOPPING CENTER FOR JEWELRY CRAFTSMEN at your fingertipsI MEET DONALD L. WYCKOFF After four months as the new executive vice-president of the Amer- ican Craftsmen's Council, and having so far traveled approximately 25,000 miles from coast to coast on behalf of the Council, Donald L. Wyckoff finds himself spiritually if not often physically at home in his fourth floor office at ACC headquarters in New York. When at his desk, however, he will tell you that one of the prime reasons for his identification with the craft world is that he is a practicing potter and has taught almost every craft—at secondary school level. Another reason is a solid background of administration in the school systems and art centers of New Jersey. Recently we chatted with Donald Wyckoff in between his trips to Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Seattle, Washington, and asked him to elaborate on the career that looks impressive even in the Readers' Digest style of Who's Who in American Education. Born and raised on Long Island, New York, after a stint with the Army during World War II, he attended the University of Georgia, concentrating on art edu- cation. He then went on to The Corcoran School of Art in Washing- ton, D.C., and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from George Wash- ington University. Moving to New York, he became involved in community art education programs in and around the city while working on a Master's degree at Columbia University.
