Thinking elementary and what can and may be more elementary but elementary school!?!? Nellie Curtis baby all the way!

Thinking back at all of this as I did earlier today as it was prompted by me being taught cursive as a you ger child than that in Brazilia, Brasil as it was being built from the desert up, it wasthe nuns there ofthe Catholic church that taught mehow to write in cursive, obregado to those nuns so many blue moons ago. And thinking about Nellie Custis in Aurora Hills, South Arlington i remember being there with Katy Bean and also a Jake and a blond- haired boy that was always drawing soldiers with his pencil or pen ever so fine! wish i had some of thse drawings now, that would be a treasure to me! I also remember sports and playing basketball wellnthere until some of the boysgrew taller thanme and afe it much ore difficultforme to do well. And I remember also layingthat game with a ball filled with air that hurt if you hit someone with it and that I was god at that I say sorry to all those that i hit with these balls, usually beingthe girls i liked and wanted to have noticeme and the boys to prove my strength and power. It was a goodexperiencendiwillreach outto Katynowfor some more details! Cheers toball those teachers that taught me, i appreciate what you did forme.

Sometimes like this i am multi-tasking as i search for relevant material, thoughts, photos, art, whatever, andam often easily distracted as I alignmyself with things I wish and feel I need to accomplish. i never work in any traditional way, i add things that people would tell me to eliminate. i listen , often do not heed their advice. i want most ton preserve the integrity of the moment as here in the shade of our house now as the sun is strong, a gentle refreshing breeze sweeps around me , refreshing me as I poke at eah, tap wth one finger at each letter, number, comma, period I want. I am refocusing my efforts now in this diFficult time to move forward as i make many block print and cursive words and numbers in my political art and resistance of " all things trump ', i must trump him at his own actions and not have him sully , soil, spoil, my positive connection both to myself and to others. trump cannot win! so I toil ahead and do not let myself come to a boil! i celebrate that which was good and healthy and healing and growing positively for me at my four years at The Lawrenceville School , 1968-1972. there were many that were like mentors to me like Jack Garverand Mr Robbins the classics professor. Mr Blake was an inspiration as well, as students like Dave Goldberg and Roy Abramowitz and Paul Valany and Bruce and Court Weidermeyer that made me feel i was accepted, welcome and belonged, and not shunned or neglected, there are others, too. And then there was Babs O'Brien! And seeing John Sebastion play in Princeton, B. B. King and Lucille play on campus, Willy Phipps and the art we did with Jack Garver. There were good and bad times. I only want to reconnect withthe good times. it was a period of growth and discovery. I drew, and still have pastel drawings I made of Uldis Steigers, Bruce and others. Correct spelling and names will come soon as i consult my yearbook as I graduated in 1972 and went to Ashland, Virginia to the Randolph-Macon Colle ( of a thousand students , the second year that women were admitted ) to continue my art, graduate with a diploma a Bachelor of Arts in English, having been both first the editor of the school newspaper and then that of the yearbook. Randolph Macon College was a great fit for me tganks to my friend Susie Lykes that recommended I apply there. Not Eglin that i babysat his children while there at Lawrenceville. And turning reords in that small off the beat and path radio station, lonely inside, spinning tunes, wondering if anyone listened or appreciated as I do not recollect anyone saying anthing at all about it then. always growing stronger alone and self-suffcient my way and on my own terms when I could, much as i have done most of my life as I turn both back my gaze and focus to Lawrenceville, having reconnected with Willy Phips, and with the help of Kathleen in the Alumni office as I wait to hear from Chloe the professor of Visual Arts! i am so pleased, so hopeful. Cheers to one and to all! i post this now and will add and edit more. Bear with me. Anthony TONY Quinn 4/29/2025
