Send feedbackWhen I was teaching a class in creative writing at The University of Southern Maine, I quoted a remark made by a professor of mine when I was a student and John Kimball’s hand went up. We had not yet met. “Sounds like I.J. Kapstein,” he said. We became friends and his obituary (in the June-August BAM) reminds me of many things. While he was a board member of the Maine College of Art, I was on the adjunct faculty there. His exhibition at the University of New England came while I was (and still am) a curator of exhibitions at the UNE gallery and I remember his show and his paintings well. It was Brown and our shared memory of Kap (an old friend of my father, class of ’28) that brought us together.
