Orme Aerial Finish

May 31, 2011

Spoke yesterday at the Pioneer & Military Memorial Park in downtown Phoenix. Really an honor. In addition to remembering the fallen, I encouraged everyone to also remember the rememberers, the people who give so much time to help us remember.

Finally put the finishing touches on the Orme aerial illustration this morning. Been working on this for months in my spare time:

I'm off to New Mexico this morning, stopping in Mogollon tonight with my old friends Lew and Tara Jones, then on to Lincoln on Wednesday to meet Jeff Hildebrandt and a film crew out of Texas to tape some new True West Moments for the Westerns Channel.

I love this stuff. Why? I'll let ol' Walden tell you why.

"A country losing touch with its own history is like an old man losing his glasses, a distressing sight, at once vulnerable, unsure and easily disoriented."
