Done as a novel way to hand print
images. Tom learned to silk screen in high school, producing dance and
theatre posters. In college he worked for a local screen printing company,
Kinduell Screen Printing, and was given artistic privileges to use their
equipment to print limited edition prints.
These caps were made my separating
the front image and outputting the three colors to be printed onto clear
acetate from a laser printer. The plates were used to print on the blank
hat fronts and later they were assembled at the hat factory.

The Story of
Henry Williams
This
watercolor depicts Henry when he was about age 72. His parents were former
slaves and farmed along the Mississippi River. Henry decided to spend
his life on the Ohio River. He was about twenty when he started working
for Captain John Beatty, legendary river man. Henry worked as a crane
operator, pilot, diver, welder and engineer raising salvage off the bottom
of the inland waterways. His brother William, was also a river man, William
was a victim on the steamboat Island Queen’s explosion in Pittsburgh
on September 9th, 1947. Henry went with Captain Beatty to salvage
the Island Queen. He recalled scrambling for dines that fell out of the
slot machines while raising the steamboat. Henry spent the latter part
of his life living in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Semi-retired,
Henry worked as the dock master for the floating converted stern-wheeler
restaurant Mike Fink’s, built by Captain Beatty. Everybody had a
nickname on the river, Henry’s was “Greenboy.”

St. Thomas More
(1478
- 1535)
“A man for
all seasons”
Thomas
More was a humanist with a true love for learning. Known as a leader,
he recognized that leadership is a gift from God for the common good of
mankind and the duty of that gift was a life of service to all. A devoted
family man, he was also a brilliant intellectual patron of the arts, statesman,
scholar, philosopher, and author whose writings have enriched our culture
and literature.
Educated
at Oxford, he practiced law and entered the service of King Henry VIII
as royal counselor, ambassador, and Lord Chancellor. He was a man of conscience
with a strong faith in God and an intense concern for the problems of
his day. He was executed because he refused to compromise his deeply held
principles and values.
As a
person of wide and varied interests who exhibited high standards of honor,
Thomas More is an inspiration to students who seek to develop through
their education the knowledge and values upon which they will base their
lives, their careers, and service to others. Thomas More was truly “a
man for all seasons.”
