"Karl Pfahler Field"

 

Mr.  Pfahler worked at my daughter's elementary school. He was a janitor, handyman, groundskeeper and a friend to everyone who knew him. He even taught an improvised shop class to the kids after school. When he passed away unexpectedly, I proposed they name the playground/field after him. It took a few years but they finally did. While out walking a week or so ago, I noticed the dramatic night sky above the school playground and snapped this photo. I decided to turn it into a painting. Here's to you, Mr. Pfahler!
