I have enjoyed a friendship with Vince for decades. His upbeat disposition and generous spirit was a steady state. We harvested black walnuts together and he showed me the intricate processing of the walnuts. I was gifted with several jars. I asked him if I could commission his making me an easel on which to mount canvasses. I still use the collapsible easel–another gift–that he fashioned from materials on hand. He had a ready laugh and keen delight in adventures such as our traveling together with his niece to the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. His merriment and ready affection guide my growing edge.
