It's amazing what can be done by any sex or type of person or level of training. One of the best football players that I have known, not personally, is Rosie Greer. To keep himself busy and to chill out, he started doing needle point work. And his work ended up as works of art and on display in many areas. I am quite sure there are places or prisons that no amount of kindness or help to earn the extra credit would work, but when you have the motivation to get something moving and moving well, it will grow into itself. I think it's a fantastic comcept and lookingast some of the works from these men with just a needle and thread.. well I don't think I would see my work up there looking jalf as good as several of them I saw. I applaude what you do and what you inspire. Hats off to a female warden and a bunch of men willing to earn the extra quarter and do something worth while at the same time.
