Barstow Calvet Home in the news
Mar 25, 2024
I was blessed to have a video chat with Mr. Chris Holmstrom from CBS News in LA about the Veterans Portrait Series shoot at the Cal Vet home in Barstow, Ca. and the project for their Veterans Voices series.
He hopes to join us on 16 May 2024 for the Founders Day celebration and the opening of all the prints on display at the home. I hope you can join us, too.
FYI: You must watch an ad first, but it's short. Thank you, Chris.
