I donated this framed photograph today to the Veteran's Hospital in Salisbury, NC in honor of my colleagues father, Dr. A. Frank Dalton. Dr. Dalton was a POW of WWII captured when his plane went down during the invasion of Normandy. The Veterans in attendance gave a standing ovation to the presentation of the artwork and to a moving speech in memory of Dr. Dalton. I was told today by a Veteran that when Veterans enter the hospital, they want to see work like this on the walls. As I thought about my career as an artist and art educator, I realized that this was an easy problem to fix and I plan to donate more work in the future.
