    So sorry Marsha. Met him many times with you over the years, but my best memory of him was in a drawing class. He was working on a portrait of you from a picture. It was with such love that he worked on it to get it just right.

    My wife Jolyn Joslin and I are saddened to hear this. We liked Artie a lot, having known him from the BCLR courses and fellowship during our 5 years in Rhode Island before we retired to Florida. It’s January 2022 and we’re just now hearing of his death. Condolences to Marhsa and family.
