Default Re: artist Ken Danby has died-he painted portrait of Lightfoot

I fully agree with the late Mr. Danby. Far too many schools here in America concentrate their funds on things like sports, which is allright for some, but not every child has the potential to be a jock nor do many have the desire or passion for such a thing. Myself, I think such money SHOULD be spent on things such as the fine arts in all it's forms, whether it be for music, acting, singing, or in the field of the creative arts. Those are the things that stimullate a childs brain far more than having them rattled by playing football. And as for Mr. Danby's paintings of Gordon, they take my breath away, they're so life like. The man will most definately be missed by art lovers.
