[Leica] My high school photography teacher

[al crouch]

Nice portrait, Chris.  56 years dedicated to guiding young people into art careers is a monumental achievement, not to mention those many other students who chose other careers but kept art as part of their lives.  Would have been nice if they could have turned on the heat for the tour.
