Did you see my 'text transcript' of Columbus. He said that the young
woman that had a gold nose plug. I see your picture your lady has a
nose plug too. I will speed up my research of European encounters
with the native culture. Morison states that Columbus called them the
gold race from long ago.

Great to see you here Theodore, a warm and belated welcome. Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties in using the site, and I hope you enjoy the time you spend here. This is an interesting project that you have underway, I (and I am sure others as well of course) would love to hear more about as you progress. Please consider creating a little blog for yourself here in this network.

How did he describe the people he met? I think Morison said they
were from the great golden age. Morison put a lot of his own ideas
into his writings, so I am not sure how accurate it was. Also Morison
wrote the Ponce de Leon was in search of the Fountain of Youth. A lot
of historians and writers argue that Ponce was not looking for it. What's
your opinion on that?

Love what you are doing. If ever in the island look me up. I work with oil base clay then too bronze. How I get my ideas I try going in to myself. How by visiting places, of our ancesters caves and rivers. In Naguabo I have fuond some petroglyph that help me alot. it's more about path of feeling. At time I feel like, I am being use. I hope it help you keep up your outstanding work your new and very old fiend David el indio

Thank you so much for turning me on to the Arawak art work. The collection is very beautiful seems to capture the very essence of the people. I am not on the ICN network very often and I just noticed your message from a long while ago. Sorry it took so long to respond. I did not know what I was missing in the art work.
Take care, Deborah B.

She certainly produced a lot of paintings for the time she was in the Islands...and she has a very interesting story. Later alligator Deborah (I can say this dumb thing since I live in Florida)
