Comment

Voici ce que m'a indiqué Kathy, assistante dentaire à la retraite en Californie qui m'a cédé ce dessin:

«This was hand drawn for me as a gift when I graduated from dental assisting school in June, 1966. It's signed "Rocky" in bottom right corner.

"Rocky" was a friend I had known for many years & his real name was John Abramson. I went to Lawton Dental Assisting School in Beverly Hills, California, USA & graduated in June of 1966. Upon my graduation, John gave me this drawing that he did just for me. Unfortunately over the years we've lost touch with each other & I have no idea where or what he's doing or has done. I remember he was extremely intelligent and was very gifted in so many areas. I have several poems that he wrote & gave me & I couldn't believe how he could just grab a piece of paper & pen & the words would just flow together so beautifully.

I'm so sorry that I don't have any recall as to how he got the name Rocky & I don't remember anyone ever calling him by that nickname. Years of living have erased some parts of my past & I wish I could remember some things more clearly.

I hope the little bit of information that I just gave you, helps in some small way.»
