March 17 22: Richmond - various and wall art

The tour + others taking a break

Old Friends:

THB won a tile  made by Robert Lugo, famous potter and rapper we met him 8-10 years ago or so at an NCECA convention.  You had to pick a number between one and a hundred...can you guess THB's winning number?

DB and SB worked together at Wells Fargo many a year ago. They have live in Lexington VA for 20 years and we met in Charlottesville for lunch, about halfway between their place and Richmond

THB and CB (she worked for Gensler up until a few years ago)

DB and Jamie Bates: we were her first customers (10 years ago?), She's now a tenured prof at Oklahoma in Norman
