Hi, I'm Joel Pett. Stuart and I worked on a series of "educational" materials back in the seventies. Strictly propaganda. Stuff like energy conservation and political science. The energy stuff was particularly effective, and we're both very proud of how Indiana and America have embraced the concept in the ensuing decades.
Stu was the writer, and I was the artist. Among the material we cranked out was a full-length comic book on, believe it or not, global warming (this was 1975 or so) I have waited thirty-three years to divulge that it was STUART LAZARUS who asked me to draw in the marijuana references, the roach clips, the hemp plants, all that stuff. I would never have done it on my own, nor would any cartoonist of that era. It was Stuart. Stuart Lazarus. Somebody call homeland security. Or Cheney. Or Brownie. Somebody please call somebody. Thanks so much for letting me get this off my chest. My apologies to all the Indiana secondary students who apparently went on to get so high all the time they forgot to conserve energy.

Happy Birthdays! That can't be a recent picture?! Wendy, you look the same as the day I met you in, hmmm, '96 (ish), and great as usual.
You probably don't know what a wonderful influence you've been on my life so I'll go on for a bit here. You taught me about family, tradition, child (teen) rearing, and staying active, among many other things. You still come up in conversation with my husband (and 8-month old!) and my parents, who remain grateful for you all having been part of my life during the formative college years. By the way, I'm a full fledged tennis player now - we play a few times a week. Couldn't teach my old-dog husband new volleyball tricks so I switched. You're lucky to have such a wonderful husband and David and Laura are gems. I miss you all. Enjoy your big year...
Cheers!
Kristen
