I was saddened to learn a few minutes ago that my high school photography and
art teacher, Don Goss, passed away today.
Mr. Goss taught at Elmhurst High School in Fort Wayne for 56 years, retiring
only because the school was closed in 2010. He was himself an Elmhurst graduate!
I had been interested in photography since I was young, but Mr. Goss encouraged
me to go to art school and make it my life's work. I was just one of many of
his students who went on to become professional artists, and many of us kept in
touch with him over the years. Peter and David Turnley also took photography
from Mr. Goss, back in the 1970s.
This is a photograph that I made of him way back in 1994, when I was a senior
in high school. I snapped it while he was lecturing during class one afternoon.
