Come Fly With the Eagles

Classmate Floyd Scholz invites all AWHS Class of 1976 alumni and friends to a celebration of the release of his new book, Golden Eagle, this coming weekend at the Connecticut Audubon Society on Congress Street in Fairfield. The show and sale, which takes place May 4, 5, and 6, will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the art of bird carving.

Floyd will be joined by 20 other bird carvers from around North America in a rare opportunity to view and perhaps purchase an assembled collection of some of the finest bird carvings and bird art to be seen anywhere.

Floyd is universally recognized as one of the preeminent woodcarvers and painters in the world. Now in his 38th year of carving, he has enjoyed tremendous success as a professional artist, author, teacher and musician. His portrayals of eagles, hawks, owls and other large birds have won him a large, enthusiastic international following.

As the author of five award-winning books on the art form, his in-depth knowledge of birds, especially raptors, and bird carving and painting techniques combined with an easy going and engaging teaching style have enabled Floyd to influence a whole generation of wildfowl carvers and artists.

The bird sanctuary has a spacious visitor's center. If you'd like more information, please call the Connecticut Audubon Society at 888-994-2473, or check the Web at www.vermontraptoracademy.com or www.ctaudubon.org.

Some classmates will convene for food and drink this Friday evening, May 4, at The Bear and Grill Restaurant, 2000 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield from 7 to 11 p.m. All are welcome to join the get-together.
