Dear Joe:

Please tell Joe his art is beautiful to look at- what a celebration for my eyes that was! The colors, the faces, figures. And it is the same expression almost in all. No smiles (maybe one crooked smile), and of course it makes me wonder.

Beautiful shapes and colors!

Regarding the fictional short stories and semi-autobiographical stories you would like to write, I wonder if there will be stories about that crude, bullying type humor you wrote about, that is so common in your family… and how it can be hurtful to the unprepared and untrained victim…?

Joe the artist; Joe the writer, Joe of all trades… so much to Joe!
