About the suicide art done for UNL
Great Art
Work - BE Quarterly
Winter 2000! Thought I'd do a
artist - now find I share a
thing with Kissing from Blossom's song! We
graduated in 1973 & 1974
Pat Moran
The above card was passed along to
me from the
editor of the
UNL Alumni Mag.
I don't know
Pat Moran.
Right Page:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!
I am sure this is the funkiest birthday
card you've ever come to from anybody,
but I hope the message comes through
that every day I love you more. You
are my world! I am so grateful that
I even met you, let alone that
through the years, and the times
I've disappointed you, we are
still together. This last year
has been very rough, doubly
so with you having to nurse me
through two surgeries.
But I am excited to see a
really bright future coming
for us soon!
Love you to the moon!
