Margaret Greger's Whirlwind of
Kites
What makes someone memorable in kiting?
It’s how they filled the skies, and in the case of Margaret Greger,
she did just that. Margaret Haun
Greger, 85, passed away like a gentle breeze.
Junction Texas Kite Retreat
For those of you who have been lucky to be a
part of the many years of kiting fun of Junction Texas, you will be happy to
know that it still exists and is running strong each Memorial Day Weekend
(usually the last weekend in May of each year).

After many long years, our line of inexpensive but
actual flying kite kits have hit big in marketing. It has been our
commitment to give teachers the best of flight, that happy kite flying
experience, without "disturbing complexity."

Reminder: Last Chance to Register for
Moku Hanga with Richard Steiner!
I've
known Richard Steiner as a printmaker from his Hiroshima days in the early
1970’s, when he first began studying under Masahiko Tokumitsu. His
early works were assignments from his teacher in the Independent Printmaker
Movement, and so reflected that style and technique. The emphasis was more
on art than craft, on realistic renderings than pure self-expression.
