Story behind the photo ...
Looking through files and photos, I found this photo of a former student Cole, I remembered the story behind this photo.
He had been awarded a stripe for his purple belt
after his second junior class. Just a 8" white grosgrain ribbon,

.
We had the policy that the recipient should sew his stripe on.
Cole asked for thread and a needle and spent 35 minutes after class. His first time sewing anything.
Afterwards I found him sleeping and got this photo.
I love old photos.

cutting it down. An extraordinary technique.

Love your story behind and of course Neil!
President Carter always was such a decent (hope this is the right word!) and honorable man. I think he was a great president.
Thanks Elenor. Yes, President Carter was too good for American politics? He is in his 90's and still working to help others.
Neil is great. I love it when you try men as portraits. You really are good at them. :-)
Thanks, John, I guess I need to try more.
