The Day I Chased Away The Highwaymen
A Mistake in Artistic Judgement
I went to school to become a civil engineer. There were no art appreciation courses for engineers when I attended the University of Florida. What little art education I have was learned the hard way: by making dumb mistakes.
One of the dumbest mistakes was back in the 1970s. I owned a small engineering firm in Indialantic, Florida. Our office was on State Road A1A in a salty old motel directly on the ocean.
