Happy Birthday, Irv!

I was privileged to spend a few years learning from Irving Boker.
Irv passed away a year ago, and today would have been his 80th birthday.
I regret every moment I was impatient with him... I regret that I didnt pay such close attention as I should have
I lament those days i was too tired or didnt have "enough time" to go see him or call him,
I can never get them back.
He was a very kind and patient man.
He was a terrific artist
a fine human being
I miss him

as a teacher and as a friend.
