Douglas nodded after he had taken another sip of the tea.  "Yes, when I was younger the artists that I studied with took me with him various places around.  Though I am was not sure often if he wanted me with him to study and learn or just carry his supplies."  He chuckled.  He had learned a lot from both the two men that he had studied with, and had become friends with them over the years he was with them.

"Then I traveled with the military doing images for the publications and for the reports they made."  He didn't go into that.  If anyone had seen a newspaper during his time doing the drawings with the military, there was often at least one of his drawings in it.  It had become a dark time for him and he didn't talk about it with just anyone.
