As soon as the art exhibition was finished at 11:00a.m., I connected Mr.Stephen H Robinette -- An Associate Vice President of Missouri State University and I was in his office at 12:00a.m.
I wished to account the 64 of my paintings that I had donated to Springfield and stored in the shop of Mr. Joe Jenkins by an Certificate of Authorization and the witness of Mr. Brad Bodenhausen -- the Executive Manager of Springfield Chamber of Commerce. Wished to found a fund to help the local people to learn Chinese culture and arts.
Since Mr. Joe Jenkins was sickness, they were delivered to the office of Mrs. Stephen H Robinette July, 2011.
Mr. Darren Young -- Assistant to the Associate Vice President treated me friendly and arranged a girl to help me.
I felt good since these paintings have been there open for 3 years since 2010, and be delivered 4 times by 5 people, 4 paintings of them had been borrowed by Mr. Zhou Yiran to work in the Kentucky World Language Conference and then be delivered back Springfield by the husband of Mrs. Dandan Liu.
Now, there are still 54 in the boxes, plus 7 of them in the suitcase that my temporary son had carried to the house of my former classmate' s house, they are still having 61 paintings.
Both of the girl and I accounted the numbers, packed them ok and still store them in the office still.
I will not open them until someday, my project will have a big progress and donate the better part with some of my are works together to somewhere best suitable in Springfield...
I appreciated what Mr.Darren Young did for me and we took this photo as a memory.
