On a day like today, Dr Seuss left the building..

I had the opportunity to chatter up with an eight year old artist down in the Valley over the weekend, she enjoys drawing and sketching and helping others in her elementary located just steps away from the International Bridge, she submitted some of her sketches, but this one entitled "Woman" struck me as fancy and well done for a self taught little girl named Beata Yarritu that surprisingly so reminded me that "On September 24th, Dr Seuss, artist Thedor Seuss, left this world back in 1991...


Never forgotten Dr. Seuss, on a day like today in the year 1991, he passed away after a lengthy battle with throat cancer.

Descanse en Paz Dr. Seuss, you are still adored and remembered by your little fans in Brownsville, Texas.
