Sorting and scanning old documents, I found this among my grandmother's papers in Dec. 2014.
I was a CAC artist in residence for 6 years at Mark West School in Santa Rosa. My residency led me to Sacramento to politic for Arts Day, then it led me farther afield with a Sonoma County poetry and art exchange with the USSR in 1989 - 1990. An eye-opener, teaching poetry in the USSR.
This is where it all began. With the meatpacker governor who gutted the CAC and carved up public education in California. You'd never know it from this letter, now would you? He was nice enough in the flesh. I could have liked him except for his priorities: art and politics.
