highlights

Twenty-first century, mostly art and design because they're mostly easy to illustrate, though every one of these pics doesn't necessarily relate directly to the event itself.


Part of the design, paint, and decorate team for Cranberry Festival Float, September 1999 Harwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. For purposes of this chronology I can say it was Sept 2000—after all, it may have been, and time’s only relative.



Saturday, 11 May 2002: Graduation from the Community Economic Development Certificate Program at San Diego State University. They cited me one of the top three students in the class. No exclamation point because that was no surprise.

interesting that I didn't think to include this event when I created this highlights page. It was supposed to be a re-entry opp for me and another credential for inner-city ministry. I have a picture stored somewhere that eventually I'll scan and add to this page.
