Val Cushing

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Val Cushing. I was fortunate, as so many others, to have met him and hosted him for a workshop here some years ago. I was lucky to be a second generation student, that is, I was taught by one of Val's students, John Jessiman. Cushing's influence can not be overstated nor his generosity in freely sharing his knowledge and experience.
