Maybe that was my "Problem". I had a very good idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up and I did it. Any education I sought was toward that goal. Once I had a good job, I had the opportunity to seek knowledge in all sorts of other fields and in other venues. My dad parlayed his apparently significant graphic arts abilities he developed in high school into an academic scholarship at a major Pennsylvania university. His uncle, a Russian immigrant like his dad, helped out, and during the Great Depression after graduation, he worked for that uncle as manager of displays and merchandising for the latter's small chain of variety stores, and also a store and regional manager. When he had his boat store, my dad would spend the slow winter hours at the store painting rather risque portraits of nudes and semi-nudes of voluptuous women he never met, an avocation that drove my mom nuts. A friend's father in Overland Park, Kansas, a real estate developer, had artistic abilities, too, and he would sculpt nudes of well-developed women he never met, a hobby that also drive his wife nuts. Ahhh, art! ![]() Sure hope he didn't wear his arm out patting himself on the back as much as his son does. |
