Mouser gets some Loving

Description


------
This man is the Historian at the Howell Living Farm near Lambertville, New Jersey. He absolutely makes farm history come alive for children (and adults!) during the tours he conducts on the farm and its environs. During the work week, he has been a much loved History teacher at a private academy in Princeton, a career from which he will soon be retiring. The Howell Farm and its visitors will be reaping the benefits!
---------
His love of this fine, big, cuddly farm cat is abundantly apparent!

Michelle- Well my friend, I think we both have such interesting history teachers that make learning fun. One can always tell when someone enjoys what they do and I think that both our teachers show their love for teaching.
Wonderful portrait you have here and yes you can tell he loves that cat. Beuatiful colors and you captured his character with exceptional work. Know he would be proud to have a copy.
You have a wonderful day and take care my friend. #8690428

What a wonderful story of this mans life, Michelle, and how wonderful to see him still being highly productive. His happiness cannot be denied. I think he has answered a basic mystery of life. To stay happy, stay busy! :) Wonderful capture of he and kitty. Thanks for sharing their background.
