As president of WSA, I called Mrs. Zerries to express my condolences. She said that she will not be sending Al's painting to the show, which is understandable. The members of WSA are chipping in to create a memorial award to Al Zerries. The Al Zerries Memorial Award will go to a painting designated by our juror, Gordon West. Anyone wishing to contribute to this memorial award can do so by e-mailing me with your pledge at rembrantley@hotmail.com . Your check can be mailed later. We will miss him and his beautiful paintings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-61660842427116877982009-03-12T17:21:00.000-07:002009-03-12T17:21:00.000-07:00Myra...I have bookmarked your blog and it is one o...Myra...I have bookmarked your blog and it is one of 4 that I look at regularly.
