Another Henry Martin ’48 Memory

I’d like to add to the “Remembering Henry Martin ’48” item in the October issue.

In conjunction with his 50th reunion in 1998, Henry Martin ’48 — a member of my grandfather class — held an exhibition of his cartoons at Firestone Library where I had the privilege of meeting him in person. The meeting was arranged by the late Dean Marianne Waterbury, my mentor in the International Students Association of Princeton (ISAP). Since I was the outgoing editorial cartoonist at The Daily Princetonian (1996-98) and the outgoing president of ISAP, Dean Waterbury coordinated with Henry to present me with a montage of Henry’s Princeton-themed cartoons as a fabulous graduation gift. The other side of the montage contains farewell messages from international students. The cartoon montage is a wonderful homage to Princeton and has been proudly displayed on my wall since graduation:

After a long hiatus, I resumed drawing editorial cartoons in 2017.  My work can be found on my independent editorial cartoon website, sillyreality.com.
