Every so often I get a newsletter from the college I attended. The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I see a lot of great work from graduates. I think to myself one day, one day I will have something there. Not that I need it for an ego boost. I just believe it would be cool. Well that day has arrived! I finaly made it. Dave DiBella was retiring. Dave lived across the street from me when i was attending school. I could not make the retirement party so I did a caricature of him and e mailed it to the people organizing the party as ou can see in the photo, it was displayed very nicely at the event. It is in 3 of the 7 photos in the newsletter. It has its very own picture and i could not be happier about it! There is only one problem. A small one. No where does it mention who did the caricature. Haha, just my luck. And it is ok. I am tickled that it made it and he liked it. Dave is a great guy and did e mail me his appreciation for the caricature.

Hi Rick - Just received my alumni newsletter and even though your name is not written in article I can see it on the photo pretty clearly. Great drawing! If Dave had written the article about his retirement I am sure that he would have given you credit. Dave was such a nice guy (and still is) he had a great memory for names of so many past students it amazed me. Your old AIP friend, Jamie
