Dear Moises, I appreciate your including my students project on your "Latinopia" site. One of my students selected you as his
artist study and the work created in your style will be placed alongside his. This has always been a theory of mine that young
people must reach out and research the things to aspire to. The Latinopia lessons are a wonderful model to achieve this goal.
We must study the past to create a brighter future and never forget those who lifted us up to see what we can accomplish.
This was a great week of masks,charcoal and acrylic painting.

I enjoyed seeing your mural this evening, thanks for sharing your history with all of us. I taught art in Phoenix for many years
I was working on the Gila River Indian Reservation at St. Johns Indian School. I appreciate all the things you said
and wanted to encourage you keep up the good works. I teach K thru 12 in Las Vegas and really liked your statement
regarding the early development as an artist.
