What ever happened to that feminist concept of keeping your own name? Those three beautiful and liberated and charming young women certainly didn’t!) (I have no children, thank God, and my only brother has three daughters. So the Porters will be drowned out by “Cohns” and “McGuires” and “Flodders” at least in the descendants closest to me. That particular line of Porters will die out before too long, because in my round of siblings and cousins, the boys didn’t beget boys who might pass on the Porter name, and the girls seem to have taken on their husbands’ names. I come from a line of Porters either short or long, who knows.
My middle name honors Arthur Weimer who was the Dean of the School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where my father was a professor and administrator. Otherwise it goes a little flat-“fillup”-like the sound of a loose shoe sole on hard pavement. Now that was embarrassing!Īlthough a few people call me “Philip” and fewer still have called me “Felipe” or “Philodendren,” I have gone through most of my life as “Phil.” If I were to use Philip more consistently, I think I would have to demand that everyone say it with an English accent, to keep it crisp. At take-off on one flight, I dropped my ball of yarn and it rolled about 15 rows back. (Actually, if they show any interest at all.) I crochet a lot on airplanes, if I have the nerve. The dyeing process is top-secret, although I have blabbed it to a few people if they show enough interest. Are you getting this? I don’t change string to get the change in color-it is all of a piece. I hand-dye the string in complicated ways to create colors and patterns. My current fascination is crocheting small, single-thread basket/sculpture thingies. You might say it, but you probably shouldn't. Since some traditional baskets were made from reeds soaked in water to make them pliable, and since some basketmakers actually submerged the reeds as they worked, you might say that I came very close to getting a Masters degree in Underwater Basketweaving. Baskets were his specialty, both contemporary and modern.
I went there to study textiles as a fine art from a marvelous man named Ed Rossbach. I have a Masters degree in Visual Design from the University of California at Berkeley.
