al 1973 Lloyd [J.] Reynolds [Art Professor, 1929-1969] retired from teaching full time at Reed in 1968. I know because I was a freshwoman there in 1969 and I just missed him. I went to visit him, though, with my parents, who both had him as a teacher and had remained fast friends. He was old and sad because he was a recent widower, but still with a twinkle and sage advice about not reading half the stuff I’d been handed at the Admissions Office—just figure out what you want to do and go do it, advice I am still having trouble following today! I also remember a graduation speech he gave about grass growing up through the sidewalk cracks, the beauty and the hope in that. Calligraphy and Reed are still synonymous in my mind.
