A tote with a note.

Tonight I’m going to meet CLIFF GARTEN, a sculptor/artist/architect who’s also a Rhode Island School of Design alum.

I’m taking him a RISD tote bag — so he can feel school pride… and I’ve tucked a note into it for him to read after the lecture.

Whenever there’s an opportunity to meet someone from any of the schools I am associated with

— RISD, UC Santa Cruz, Da Vinci Design —

I make sure to let the alum know we’re grateful they remember their roots …

and we appreciate that by their worthy work, they keep the name strong.
