The Plains Art Show circa 1984
The Plains, Virginia
5th Grade
This was an article in the local paper covering an art show in which I entered my first piece of framed artwork.  As a middle school student, I drew a pencil drawing of an old sailing ship.  My mother had it framed & to my surprise it won “Popular Vote.”  Rumor has it my little sister voted a few more times than anyone else.

Our 4th grade class (Room 2) submitted material for the local paper  in October 1983 and my teacher, Mrs. Joyce Smith, asked me to draw the all the State icons (probably because I couldn’t spell as well as the other students).

My very first article featuring my independent study about Thomas A. Edison where I built (with the help of my father) a handmade lightbulb circuit switch display that actually worked.  Edison’s right-hand business associate, George Stringfellow was still alive and I was able to visit him in Washington, DC and interview him We discussed my ground-breaking electrical experiment.
