To my complete and unexpected surprise, I was the recipient of nothing less than a miracle and received a scholarship to the Kansas City Art Institute. The morning I left Trego County, Kansas for college my father, who immigrated to this Country and came from a difficult and challenging background, didn’t understand nor support my decision to pursue Art as a career. Even though he did not support my decision, he provided me two dollars to assist with expenses such as rent and food. Although two dollars was not a lot of money even back then, it was still a financial sacrifice that my father was willing to make, which meant a lot and was greatly appreciated. My time in Kansas City and at the Kansas City Art Institute was an amazing opportunity and a period of great growth for me. I soon had a position with ABC-TV, Channel 9 and was eventually offered an Art Director position at a television station in Hollywood, California. As a small child living on a farm in western Kansas I could never have imaged that I would be in the position to receive such wonderful opportunities. However, due to many years of hard work and long hours, and the love and support of a number of very special people, I was fortunate to be the recipient of a wonderful and rewarding professional career. Best regards, Thel Arthur P. S.
