A Big Ol Salute

Dear Reader,


ON BEING FRANK stops regular programming today and honors those soldiers who served and payed the highest price with their lives . We remember and salute our brave servicemen and women on Memorial Day. The life of an artist can often times be so self consuming that we can easily forget what is happening around us.

On days like today I remember the brave men and women who served with my uncle Ralph in WWII. My Uncle Ralph is a survivor of the Bataan Death March in the Phillipines. He was a prisoner of war for 3 years. Hearing him recount stories of what it was like back then in prison and seeing men die every day really has made me appreciate the sacrifices of our enlisted soldiers. We will have a ceremony to honor our fallen warriors in Auburn Ca at 9 AM. I will be there.

The portrait painting tips resume this week.
