Equally amazing to me is
his willingness to share with me his knowledge of Mexico, with its history, its places, and people. His artistic talent, of course, is obvious.
After working as a television anchor in Albuquerque (KGNC-TV), Denver (KOA-TV), Washington, D.C. (WJLA-TV), and San Francisco (KRON-TV), I retired to Mexico in 1985, where I met Maestro Zalce in 1991. During that time, knowing him has been a large part o
f my life. Although I am in my 60's, he has become an idol for me.
Maestro Zalce is a likable and a lovable gentleman. I have made numerous
trips from my home in Mexico City to his in Morelia just to visit with
him. His amiability, intelligence, and accessibility has never ceased to
amaze me. Equally amazing to me is
his willingness to share with me his knowledge of Mexico, with its history, its places, and people. His artistic talent, of course, is obvious.
As I have already mentioned, he does not conform to the general personality expected of a known artist or celebrity in any way. It is a fact that he produces art because he loves art, never for money or fame. By nature being a skeptic, it was several ye ars before I really believed that.
These webpages are dedicated to Maestro Zalce. I have designed these pages so that my friends and relatives in the United States (and other places) can see what I so often mention to them - the Zalce art that graces all the walls of my home, and the man
who produced and entrusted me with it.
Special credit, acknowledgement, and thanks to Albert Gaylord, my 'puter Guru for making these pages possible.
