Guess one could say we had his back, all two humps of this bearded bactrian beauty. The year was 1954, we fifteen students on a field trip from Bellingham—Western Washington College (now University). Our art instructor was Ruth Kelsey, a brilliant purveyor of what is beautiful as well as what is diverse and worthy of praise. Kudos!
