REMEMBERING A GRANDFATHER
First, a word about the charcoal drawing of the pair of old shoes. A friend, Kathleen, who is a poet shared the image with me and others who love her poems. Her parents purchased this drawing years ago in Denison, Texas. It is signed, “Mott” and the artist could be Clifford Mott. I cannot confirm
