Tributes

There are a handful of persons whose contributions to my life stand head and shoulders above everyone else. My arts based autobiography would be markedly impoverished without some form of recognition given to them. I must give special tribute in gratitude and appreciation. I am very pleased to be able to do this via my web site. They are my mother, Bobbie Frances Collen; my brother, Barry Collen; my sister, Roberta Hayertz; one of my mentors, Martin Allwood; and my Italian brother, Gianfranco Minati.
