I sincerely wish to thank the Tucson Weekly for the coverage it handles every week of the 'interesting side' as well as entertaining side of Tucson community. I read it every week. For a long time I thought it was the only paper here. The kindness that has been shown to me and my foundation which I realize is a stretch for some, has been overwhelming. I've had fun, and many accomplishments here with all levels of the community. I was very happy the day Tammy Stephens called to say she saw the BO prison art car on the parking lot of Safeway on Broadway. She was enthusiastic and I had a great feel for what could become of our meeting. All BO global members have read it for the most part and think ...its me and its also Bajito Onda, 'our lifestyle and culture'. I see now that what was created in Dallas has the opportunity to flourish here with the wonderful love for art, nature and humanity. My goal for now is just to survive the $500 or so monthly expenses and take it to the next level to a full community training center for any disadvantaged person who wants to either print art on shirts or prints of some sort. As well as to learn computer graphics that tie it all together and 'make it happen' - art to entreprenuers.... Its still all coming together. We need a clean space donated, basic monthly expenses for now, and a badly needed automatic shirt printing machine - and whatever else may be of use to the program. but I'll never stop till those of us on the bottom reach the top! I am available for speaking, consulting on community violence issues as I have worked side by side with Dallas gangmembers, exoffenders and prisoners in prison. One of my dreams here in Tucson is to take the BO prison art car to events, and especially inside a prison to inspire inmates to pursue their creative talents while they have 'time on their hands'. Feel free to contact me for more information or just to discuss AZ options.

'By coming together - we will never be driven apart'..... In Solidarity, Del Hendrixson aka Bajito Onda
