Class: The Educated Class vs. Real Life Experience
Artist and author Ray Tapajna ( his bio and background ) explores the gap between the realities of the street and the realities of the classroom.

He was a great influence and his inspiration prompted me not to give up my "mission" for restoring human dignity in the workday.
Hopefully more instructors will come who give those who do not have a voice in their destinies -- a voice. Unfortunately, workers have no voice in the process of Globalization and Free Trade.
His life will be celebrated in a memorial service Dec 7, 2007. The family has put up a web site and a video of his life at http://www.tomamon.com/
Thanks Tom, we trust the Lord is holding you close to His heart.
