"Put me in a jar with Rena "Rusty" Kanokogi, give it a few shakes and pull me out. I'd never again be boring, weak, uncaring or humorless. I would have a lasting coating of spunk, tirelessness, compassion and fervor. I would be indomitable, unforgettable and endearing to everyone but the foot-dragging powers-that-be who oppose me."
These are true words. I know, because it happened to me. Sensei Kanokogi was also my teacher, and her influence changed my life. She is deeply missed.
Fun fact: she was also the niece of Lee Krasner, who also has her own page on your site.
