I have added some photos from the Baren - NYFD Exhibit on display at the
Palatine Village Hall (Palatine, Illinois). Sharen Linder coordinated the
effort to have the prints on display. A new firehouse is been dedicated
this weekend and a group
of NYC firefigthers are in town to do the honors.  Sharen has additional
plans to exhibit the prints at Harper College
during March. Sorry for the poor photos, blame it on low batteries!

Subject: [Baren 17285] Another Woodblock Benefit Portfolio.... 

As our Firefighters' Benefit Portfolio goes on exhibit in our
various communities I thought that you might be interested in
reading about a portfolio that was put together, as ours was,
for a specific benefit and purpose, and is being remembered and
exhibited sixty-four years later!  

Oakton Community College 
RAY HARTSTEIN CAMPUS
7701 N. Lincoln Ave. Skokie

"A Gift to Biro-Bidjan:  Chicago 1937"

In 1937 a group of Chicago area artists created a portfolio of
woodcuts as a fundraising project for the autonomous Jewish
state of Biro-Bidjan, in the Soviet Union.  The artists share a
common theme of scenes of new hope and optimism among images of
oppression and despair.  Reception and presentation of the art
at 2:45 p.m., March 5 in room A145.  847.635.2633. 

(John Center's "9-11-01" print has been purchased by a member of
our firefighting team here in Palatine, our Community Education
Officer.  It is obvious that your print 'speaks' to the spirit
of the firefighter, John!  Congratulations and thanks!)

Not too much of a printmaking post, but I found this poem in a 911-message
web site and while I don't know if it's original
or not, it has been very inspiring, enough that I have already started two
designs...does anyone know the author or wether
it maybe an original 'Mike' ???

thanks...Julio

"DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP"

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Mike from Austria.
