John Deering was one of my more promising students at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock..I gave him a few pointers on his Vietnam Veterans’Memorial, but he has gone far further than I in the field of sculpture. I wish I had thought of the Little Rock Nine..my hat is WAAAAY off to you John. Thanks for Strange Brew, too!
