Just got my new Journal and thumbed through it. Saw that my friends Clay Foster and Binh Pho were selected as Liftetime members. Could not be awarded to two better people. Clay has been an inspiration since I first met him through John Jordan and at the Appalachian Center for crafts. wonderful teacher, artist and person. I remember he started one of his classes by having everybody do the Hokey Pokey. Hilarious. I've always loved his artwork.
Binh Pho is just an all around inspiration to anyone who has met him. I was fortunate to be his assistant at a workshop at the craft center and really got to know him that week. The word workaholic comes to mind. That man is driven. An such a wonderful teacher and inspiration to all. If you ever get the chance read his book River of Destiny. It will make you really understand what all he has gone through and why he is such an inspiration
 
Congrats to Clay and Binh. I'm not familiar with the gentlemen as some of you are but I'm impressed at what I have gleaned in the past.
Hokey Pokey? At my age, the Hokey has disappeared and all that is left is the Pokey. :p
