Art
--By Rita Wysong
Bob has always loved art and its beauty. When we lived in Panama in l946, he bought oil paints and a color wheel. He took a photo of boats nearby and painted a picture of them. He also wanted me to pose for him, and did a nice portrait. In Jidda in l954, he took up painting again and did portraits of me and Linda and my Dad, a very good likeness from a newspaper photo. His portrait of an Arab was also good.

Suzy, a noted artist and art teacher says she got her love of art from me. I dabbled, but I think your Dad is the real artist, inspiring Bobby and John to paint and sculpt in classes at school.
