     This section is for CAPA Memories; to honor members who have passed on but whose spirits are still alive in their paintings and our hearts.

     We'll also be remembering other porcelain artists, who, while not being members of CAPA, were contributors, teachers and dear friends.  These kind people took the time to share their knowledge and gave us the tools, information and courage to learn and hopefully pass on this honorable art form to following generations.

    CAPA members, please feel free to share by submitting articles, photos and/or history of artists in your community.

WHEN A LOVED ONE GOES HOME
Once they saw through a glass darkly,         now they see their risen Lord.
Once they fought through tests and trials,     now they stand in faith's reward.
Once they had but partial knowledge,          now they know as they are known.
Once they walked a pilgrim's journey,          now their feet are safely home.
Roy Lessin

 

 

 Lives of great men all remind us
        We can make our lives sublime,
    And, departing, leave behind us
        Footprints on the sands of time ;

    Footprints, that perhaps another,
        Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
    A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
        Seeing, shall take heart again.

    Let us, then, be up and doing,
        With a heart for any fate ;
    Still achieving, still pursuing,
      Learn to labor and to wait.

 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1838
