Dedication of Freeman Studio - Message from Victoria Clary

Hello, Photo Students (from The Art Institute of Dallas)-
On Tuesday, February 23rd we will have a ceremony dedicating the photography studio to Charlie Freeman. It will be named as Freeman Studio.

If you have taken photos of Charlie, we would like to display them in the studio for the ceremony.
There will be a box in the studio where you may drop off your prints. They will not be returned. They will be presented to Charlie’s wife, Sandra Freeman.

Please do not send me digital files. If you need printouts, you may take your files to the Print Lab on the 3rd floor. They will make prints of 2 images per student (8.5x11 size) if they are images of Charlie to be used for the purpose of the dedication ceremony.

I hope we will have many photos to display and to give to Mrs. Freeman, so please spread the word—forward this email if you can because I don’t have everyone’s email addresses!

Thank you,
Victoria
