Retirement Party

I would like to invite any of you who are able to attend my Retirement party to come and celebrate with me ands my family at the Elks Club, on the 2nd floor, North Street in Old Town, Maine, between 1PM and 5PM. I am retired since yesterday, June 16th, after 36 years of public school Pre-K to 8th grade art teaching at the Indian Island School, through Maine Indian Education, on the Indian island Reservation. As the altered picture of me above illustrates so well, I plan to spend the next chapter of my life actively painting full time in my studio, and en plein air throughout Maine. I hope to see all who might be able to celebrate with my family and I at the Elks Club or perhaps on the painting trail this summer. It is BYOB event where we did not hire a bar tender. There will be plenty of food although you can bring a dish to share if you like. Sorry for the short notice. I only discovered this party yesterday as it was being planned by my daughter Tiana and my wonderful wife Elaine as a surprise.
