I admire several things about Ron but one especially is his conviction to his craft. It seems to me a person can seek whatever level of involvement they want in the art profession but it's inspiring to see somebody who aspires to the highest ethics and integrity of their craft as Ron does. Yet in spite of this Ron isn't a snob. He's a really funny guy! I'll be able to say 'I knew Ron Gordon before he was world famous!' He will be someday...I'm sure of it.
