“I had the opportunity to say hello to Robert Rauschenberg at an art show in Fort Myers, FL in 2002. He smiled and answered back without a hint of condescension. I’ll never forget looking into his eyes full of clarity and life. He was using a walker then and I remember thinking that no one lives forever.” -Todd Brooks
