1974 - 1975 TRADEWINDS
Although I had been inking cartoons for the school newspaper since the 6th grade, my first published and archived work is from the Lake Worth High School Yearbook (I was also the editor). Also - Produced, filmed and edited (4) Super-8 films (one animated) for class projects, all received A+ grade. However, Mother threw them all out for spite and now they are lost forever.
