Things happen when you connect, reach out, and are open to them, and some call is a sign like in the movie Sleepless in Seattle, and I smile and cheer at that thought and like to believe in signs, though focus and hard work and persistent, consistency go a really long way, too! GOT and email from Lawrenceville yesterday about a new panel with the alumni being their main objective - to hear from us.

Yesterday I wrote or rather responded to my email, March 4, 2026 about this new group council wishing to hear from us alumni at the Lawrenceville School - and I conveyed my opinions and concerns, questions, etcetera that I wanted them to consider. My main concern and issue to point out to them was - make it more of an objective on their part to welcome the body of works that each of us may want to have there on display for all to view, listen to, that may enrich their experiences while there, and even when they leave. The body of work from alumni should be considered on their own merits, and not whether the world has seen and discovered them yet, and pronounced them ' worthy ' of being shared and expressed and seen. The fact that students were there and were a part of the L'ville experience should be enough. We all made contributions of one sort or another, and have gone on to make many more in our troubled world at large since then and now. I made this video on youtube yesterday, and love being able to express myself on Youtube. It is a great way to reach out to many, and so often people we do not know yet and even be aware of. #MakeAmericaBetterOnceAgainYes! One of my small watercolors done the size of a wine label in a series of six or eight.

I have lots to say and to add but will post this now , as a beginning, Thursday, March 5th, 2026 Happy Thursday, enjoy! Thanks to you all for being there for me then and now. Anthony Alan Quinn 3/5/2026 3:21PM now as I post this.

My portrait sketches I did at the Lawrenceville School in 1971-1972 , I think mostly in the Upper House for part of my grade in Jack Garver’s art class , Jack being like a mentor to me there that I was drawn to, and greatly appreciated and realize it even more today as I post these and the pictures of them in our 1972 yearbook for a better reference, hoping I have it right, if not, please let me know and I will correct it!

Great period of me as I blossomed pretty much on my own but defintely with a little or a lot of help from my friends lije Bill Phipps, Roy Abramowitz, Mr Robbins, and Dave Goldberg and Steve Carson, to mention a few. Anthony Alan Quinn, now Wednesday March 4, 2026 12:02pm!

Hack Garver had the biggest influence on me as a professor and older figure, and I am eternally grateful for that, thank you Jack! I am glad we did our Atelier 17 show there of etching made in this atelier that I,mtoo studied under Stanley William Hayter at 10, rue Didot , Paris, France, 75014 from 1978-1979. I have the program for that show and will include it here once I find it.

Here are the pictures from the yearbook of people I drew and mentioned,morcwanted to mention like Paul Valani, Bruce Roberts, both rommtes of mine in the Kennedy House, and Court Weidemayer that I listened to music with on my stereo. There were professors and house masters and assistant housemasters, too. all important to me tgat made a difference to me, showed interest in me, encouraged me, welcomed me, made a point to acknowledge me at Lawrenceville from Mr Brinks my Spanish reacher, to Mr Robbins our classics teacher that was our RA on the third floor of the Upper House and that played classical music that I could hear in my room, and tgat invited me to listen to the music that taught me to greater appreciate classical music. Then there was Mr Stevens our assistant master at the Kennedy House that liked the rock and roll of the times and we looked at each other's record collections and Mr Steven's face lit up when he saw my copy of The Left Bank and later I sold it to him. Then there was Dr. Dielh the science professor that was famous for his retort any time anyone said the word " well " , he immediately responded : " Oil or water !? Or are you asking about my health!?!? ".
