    Hi Steveo yes I remember Mr Lewis the art teacher, I remember that when he walked his head came first, he wore some strange clothes or so I thought but then I guess I didn’t know much about art, I remember coming first in the class once with my painting of an African mask, I mixed lots of yakky...
