Recent Post: COEDS NEED CASH COEDSNEEDCASH was teaching again, this time as UT faculty, and was also selling some work on the side. We heard from Debra once in a while, and in one letter, she talked about a man she had met. We figured she had found love once again. I received a package shortly after my graduation with a letter congratulating me. In the package was the small painting Debra had shown me that day in her studio. The note attached said, :Mark, I don・t need this anymore. I have painted another one, and I think you・ll understand what that means. Please keep this to remember our time together. Congratulations on both your graduation and for finding Barbara. I hope she・s the one you were waiting for, and somehow I think she is. All my love, Debra;
We stayed at UT, and I eventually earned my doctorate, but I didn・t enjoy teaching regular classes. I left that to Barbara, because she enjoyed it, and I painted full time. It took years before my work was recognized, and I owe a lot to Barbara for paying all the bills during that time. Now, I sell a few works each year, and although we・re not rich, we get by nicely
