Student Spotlight:

A Kind Letter from Ken!

Commander!

I've been a fan since Secret City. I was probably a little old for demographic back then, but I just snuck into your 55+ live stream at 52.  

You set off a lifelong hobby of drawing and doodling! The margins of my notes from school and meetings are filled with roses, spheres, uni bears, cubes, and cones.

When I was a young guy, I didn't have much of an emotional vocabulary, but I could still communicate those feelings with drawing - you helped tremendously with that. I'm so glad that you are still doing what you do.  

I bought 30 seconds for my oldest son, but to be honest he wasn't into it. He draws really well too, but I'm just trying to be the change and going through it myself and have my drawings laying around. I caught him flipping through the book and he asks to see my latest drawings!  

To whom at MPT do I write to get you that promotion to Admiral? You are a true inspiration, not just as an artist but as a human.

Best,

Ken
