    &#;Surround a thought with a pencil,&#; Eugene Hoffman said. It has been with me since the fall of , my freshman year of college at the University of Northern Colorado. Gene was full of inspirational words. He was not one to let a student fly under the radar, either you participated or you simply didn&#;t show up. If you showed up you didn&#;t want to disappoint him, you wanted to impress and that was not easy because he&#;d seen it all.

    For Gene&#;s graphic design class we were required to order a subscription to Communication Arts. Like the pages of Rolling Stone in high school, I read and re-read each and every article of Communication Arts, turning each thick, white page with anticipation of the inspirational image I might find on the next page. I even ordered a back issue from in which my professor was featured. He was like a rock star to me&#; in plaid flannel and suspenders. Gene had really lived it &#; he was part of the history of graphic design, winning prestigious awards as an illustrator. He even earned a lifetime ski pass to all Colorado ski resorts by designing promotional posters back when the ski industry in Colorado was not doing well.
