Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 14:31:20 GMT

I am posting this notice for one of my students.  Her husband is a
blind Cajun sculptor whose organic, bird-shaped pieces have been
exhibited widely.  The sculptor, however, is presently experiencing
rapidly declining health (diabetes), and his wife is seeking assistance
in organizing an exhibition of his work.  (They would like to show 6-8
pieces.)  They would like to show his works in a university setting, 
preferably outside the U.S.  If interested, please contact me at 
cab6944@usl.edu or call Dan Girouard at the number listed in his resume'
below.  Thanks.
