My “Leaping Lizards” class taught as Artist in Residence for our local library’s Summer Reading Program. 1995. 36 classes!
I created the Booker Bucks for all the wild animal dollar bill models. The lizard was my creation.
This was a sequel program to the previous summer’s classes “When Elephants Fly.” The children folded five models including flying elephants and flying nuns.

Akira Yoshizawa and me at his Seminar in Ossining’s Hudson River Conference Center, October 1991.
Yoshizawa, considered Father of Origami and number one Origamian in the world. He was also the originator of the modern Origami model diagramming. I am holding my model of his ram taught at this seminar.
