One great person

Dear Editor:

I saw an article about Peggy Wong dated 7/5/09. She addressed the fact that her life was inspired by a Memorial High School teacher Fabian Zaccone. He was my art teacher for my years there and I was always in awe when he painted or airbrushed a book jacket cover, I never saw another artist do such beautiful work. As I was studying to be a musician he took great interest in me and we became close. I received a Saturday scholarship to Julliard in NYC while still in high school. I think Mr. Zaccone was instrumental in getting me there. He was quite a guy, and after fifty five years I still remember him and what he looked like. One great person.
