Charlene Kankiewicz

Story

I speak Polish and French. This program keeps deleting those. I am an oil portrait painter, printer, pastel draftsman and watercolorist. I taught, privately, in Art Centers in three states and DC. I was Art Dept. head in Suitland, Maryland and an Adult Ed. Continuation Education teacher in three states. I sang since I began to speak. I was always in choruses and choirs. I sang with two bands, briefly. I made music with the great help of actual musicians at MacJams since 2008. I have no idea what I'm doing...really. ? "I intend to be memorable."- C.K.Charry I've been saying that since I was 16, in 1964. "You know who atheists are? They are those who've failed and deny their failure at the work of the soul." - C. K. Charry, April 21, 2007, 11:22 AM There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who are always getting ready to do something And, those who go ahead and do it. - Elbert Hubbard Without Love and Compassion For others, our own apparent Love for Christ...is fiction. - Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
