NEW RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT

Paula and Todd Endo moved into apartment 720 in the Crossroads on

Thursday, September 29. Both were born in California but spent their toddler years

in Japanese internment camps until World War II ended.

Paula’s family was interned in Utah but then returned to California where

she graduated from Lowell High School in 1956. She attended Cal

Berkeley and graduated from UCLA in 1961. She then attended Harvard

Graduate School of Education focusing on photo and film making. She

taught commercial photography at the Arlington Career Center from 1974

to 1990. She also taught at the American University in Cairo from 1991 to

1993. Here in the Bailey’s Crossroads area she founded an after-school

photography project for teens, which resulted in a book “Portraits from the

Pike”. She also founded the Arlington Documentary Project and

The Columbia Pike Documentary Project.

Todd’s family was sent to Arkansas during the war but ultimately settled in

DC and graduated from Wheaton High School in 1959. He then attended

Oberlin College, graduating in 1963. He went on for an MA from Stanford

and an EdD from Harvard. Todd has worked in a variety of educational

leadership positions in Cairo, Prince George’s County and Fairfax County. In

Arlington County he helped develop and obtain the funding for the ESOL/

Bilingual program. He also worked at George Mason University creating

educational partnerships and at the Institute for Educational

Transformation. Paula reports that his longest “job” has been 16 years as a

youth soccer coach with the Arlington Soccer League. Todd has been

involved in civil rights activism including the Selma voting rights marches in 1965.

Both Paula and Todd continue to be passionate about community activism

and volunteering in the community.

Broadway Musicals and The Complete Book of

1990s Broadway Musicals. Both are in the GH

Library along with his other books published by R

1970s), and our library also has a copy of his Off-Broadway

Musicals, 1910-2007 (published by McFarland). Dan’s next

scheduled for publication by R & L in mid-2017. There will be

three more books in this series, and Dan anticipates the series

will be completed by 2020. Dan is also working with R & L on

another theatre-related book, which will follow the current series.

COMMUNITY CORNER

Have you ever been curious about what is in the picture frame on the wall, to your left, as you

leave the main entrance? I’ll bet you thought it was a bug and wondered why it was given

such a place of honor. Well folks, it’s a “Walking Leaf”! That’s right, a Walking Leaf!

The Walking Leaf is almost impossible to spot as it feeds on Guava trees in the Malaysian highlands. It

remains motionless unless there is enough wind to move the surrounding leaves. The much smaller males

can fly giving them an extra line of defense, but the female’s only defense is to remain undetected.

Many specimens have varying amounts of “decay spots” to resemble an insect-damaged or diseased leaf.

Hence, no two are alike. This is the largest species of walking leaf at about four and one half inches.

Each Pheromone piece is designed by artist Christopher Marley to create a singular union of an exceptional

organic artifact, crisp, elegant aesthetic. Preserved computations on archival materials are hermetically

sealed to last a lifetime. How about that!!! Living at GHBC is an educational experience!

Dottie Moser, Resident

Monday, October 10 10:00 a.m. Open Studio This week is a great time to focus on your own personal ar twork. Choose the

supplies and mediums you would like to work with, and let your imagination fly!

1:00 Art Film – Craft In America This PBS ser ies is an exploration into the hear ts and minds of

artisans devoted to a diverse array of mediums – from furniture making and basket weaving to pottery and

metalsmithing – each episode reveals that craft has earned a place within the realm of fine art.

Tuesday, October 11

10:00 a.m. Ceramics Using our fired stamps, we will be pressing textures into soft clay slabs. Ar tists will

have the opportunity to share their stamps with each other, or use their own stamps to create patterns, variety,

and interest on their clay piece.

1:00 p.m. Open Studio

2:00 p.m. Drawing One-minute gesture drawing on newsprint is a great way to loosen up our preconceived

notions of what a drawing should look like. These quick drawings will include figurative and still life

compositions.

Wednesday, October 12

1:00 p.m. Open Studio

Thursday, October 13

2:00 p.m. Wood Carving Wood carving might sound difficult, but with the assistance of our exper t

wood carving teachers, Joel and Mike, it is a fun and rewarding endeavor!

Friday, October 14

10:30 a.m. Painting with The Impressionists Learn the Impressionists techniques with painting and

drawing exercises inspired by the work of Cassatt and Degas. This is the third part of the four-week course.

Special Announcement: The next Resident Art Exhibition will take place November 3, 2016 – January 2,

2017. Each resident can submit up to two pieces of art work which have not been previously exhibited in the

Crossroads Gallery. Each work must be wired and ready to hang. Please bring your work into the Art Center

Tuesday, November 1, between 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The Resident Art Exhibition showcases the creative
