WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

LET’S SHARE SOME MEMORIES.

I hope my words find you well.

I would like to begin this weekly issue of The Forwardian Gazette by thanking the many friends I have come into contact with over the years since The Forwardian Arts Society began for their healing thoughts and prayers for my mother, Arline Francis Maier Smeltz, who has been recently diagnosed with Colon Cancer and is currently in Hospice Care. My family and I are coping the best we can and we’re working together to ensure mom is comfortable and her passing will be a profoundly peaceful one.

Many of you who are reading this know my mother quite well as she has attended the vast majority of the Art Related functions I’ve been to. Your love and friendship is and always will be deeply appreciated and I know she remembers the times you spent with her with affection even during the moments she is not cognizant of her surroundings. Thank you for being a loving friend to her.

This weekly edition of The Forwardian Gazette marks the ending of another month we’re spent in the arts together. It has been quite a remarkable one and I look forward to spending the Summer Season with you as more events and opportunities to explore the creativity we’ll find around and within us. My personal challenges as the passing of my mother grows neigh touches my heart with sorrow. But, I know our mutual love for the arts and the loving nature of our fellowship will see me through all I encounter. Thank you. I love you. Let’s Art. Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.

Going Forwardian with you Paul Adam Smeltz The Forwardian Arts Society
