Mr. Prokos lived down the street from my family.  We lived in an old Victorian house.  One day Mr. Prokos rang the bell and handed my mom a stone cherub and told her it would look better at our house than his.  It's been moved many times since then and is a bit the worse for wear, but it's in my garden today.  And I still have a ceramic vase that I made in one of the art classes he taught at HPHS.  I think he had a dog named Binky - strange the things that come back!  Nice man, fun teacher!
