I had the distinct pleasure of working with Jace when he was a guest artist
at Memorial University's School of Fine Arts.  Our contact was minimal, but
it allows me to fully concur with Moira's depiction of his warmth, energy,
and intelligence.  The students created a wonderfully freewheeling
_Caucasian Chalk Circle_ under his generous and creative guidance.

He will, indeed, be missed.

Bruce.
