Left page: "Ray Mel Cornelius handed me the Snowflake painting. @Reinhardt Elem."
Right page: "20th anniversary of the murder in our front yard. I wrote about it in a story for the DMN.
That day, the memories of the voices, of the grieving family members & friends of the victim were with me.
The slaughter at Mother Nature next door.
So the gift of the painting, the beauty, the gesture of entrusting such beauty to me went deep." - Rights
