Springs, 2006, 36 x 48, oil and alkyd on canvas]]> SS-PlanDs]]> Rachel and Jen had arranged a lunch with Purcell Palmer to discuss this year's residency at Catwalk-- a residency of artists and scholars that Purcell originated at her home in Catskill, NY.]]> I was in St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie NY, having suffered a severe Asthma attack. These four students of mine came to visit me.]]> In November 1990 I had a serious asthma attack. I passed out and Cathy called 911. Our house is set back from the road so Cathy (Murphy) went to the end of our driveway and flagged the ambulance as they were starting to pass by our house. The EMTs couldn't revive me at the house so they took me to the ambulance and off to St. Francis Hospital. Our tenant, Roberta Crossly drove with Cathy behind the ambulance. Cathy was highly upset and because the ambulance was driving so slowly she was afraid I had died. It turned out they were going slowly so they could try and revive me on the way. The first doctor on call in the emergency room couldn't revive me so they called the second doctor on call, who luckily was a pulmonary specialist. He did revive me and inserted a ventilator to keep me breathing. Dr. Forst told Cathy that there was about a thirty seconds to a minute window left to revive me. He also told her that I could have suffered brain damage from being unconscious so long and might not even know who I am. Cathy was able to get in touch with Barbara Page who met her at the hospital and was a great support for Cathy. In the morning I awoke. I mouthed (as best as I could) I love you, to Cathy and the nurse asked if I wanted a pad and paper, I did. The first thing I wrote was, "Take my picture!), Cathy know immediately that my brain was fine, at least back to my normal. I wanted to see what I looked like with tubes attached to me. Cathy called Dixie Sheridan at about 6:00am who came to the hospital and took photographs of me. They are sad images and Cathy has never looked at them. Dr. Forst became my pulmonary doctor until his until his untimely death in 2011. I was moved after a few days from intensive care into an interim section of the hospital. There was a phone in that room, which I used , for one thing, to arrange to have my classes covered at Vassar. It was nearing the end of the term so this was essential. I was able to arrange for Joe Smith to teach my classes for the remainder of the term. When Cathy realized i was making business calls so soon she asked the nurses to remove the phone. While in the hospital I did drawings By the time I was released I needed a second wheelchair to carry all my stuff, art supplies, books, magazines, etc. The phone messages included here are some from concerned friends who couldn't reach Cathy directly. Roseman, Harry January 25, 2019]]> St. Margaret]]> A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Stacy introducing herself and asking if there were any modeling jobs at Vassar. She had modeled in the past. In between she is a ship's captain. She emailed me because of my connection of Vassar, but I called her up to see if she would be interested in modeling for Cathy (Murphy). We had arranged for her to come over to our house to meet Cathy and talk about the possibilities on the 27th of January (see post Stacy Torres in Visitors). She called and left us a message that the bus she was taking to our house never came so she suggested rescheduling for another day. I called her back and said I could come and pick her up, which I did. On our way back here Stacy mentioned that she was only going to be in Poughkeepsie until early March at which time she would be getting her new commission to captain a ship. This meant that the modeling wouldn't work out because Cathy would be working on the painting for months after that. While talking Stacy said her sister might be interested in the modeling job, so we made a date for Stacy to come back with her sister Elisa in a couple of days (see post of Stacy and Elisa Torres). Stacy and Elisa both grew up in Poughkeepsie, but Stacy is away most of the time captaining ships.]]> A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Stacy introducing herself and asking if there were any modeling jobs at Vassar.

See the next two entries.]]> Catherine and I went to NYC to see Dr. Muldune (our ophthalmologist), and to get haircuts (see self-portraits June 3, 2009, 1 and 2). Suzanne was in NY for a few reasons.

When we got back there was a message on the machine from Steve about a problem with the gas line. I called him back and he told me that he had accidentally hit the gas line from going from the propane tanks into my studio. He had acted quickly and shut them off. The firedepartment came and shut off the whole street. They were just about the axe to pieces the barn doors to my studio wnen, Steve said, why don't we see if we can just open the doors. Which they did. Then he watched the firemen as the looked around my studio to make sure there wasn't any gas leaking in tthe building. The gas company also came. I called them and they will come next week with new tanks. They said the old ones were out of date anyway.]]> 2007-06-15 Steve and Andrew, L - R, Steve Bathrick, Andrew Bathrick.
