Thank you Frank. You really felt the attachment of an artist to his institution, specially when I am back there as a teacher. We all regard high the Pratt Institute and the Columbia University Teachers College. You are lucky to be there. With your creativity and scholarship, you are the right person to be with such great academies. Wish you a happy journey through art. Regards.
