James Cuebas Remembers Nancy Starrels at Henry Street Settlement

Here is a message from photographer James Cuebas who studied with, and later assisted Nancy Starrels when she was Director of Photography programs at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City:

Hello Alice
Attached is a photograph of Nancy with a group of Headstart Children. I dont know who took this photograph, however my guess is that Nancy had one of the Children in the group take this picture.



Nancy created and taught Photography classes for people of all ages--from 4 to 94. I could say I feel like a Millioinaire. Enriched for the rest of my life from my teacher Nancy Starrels. This is all i will say for now. I will continue to e-mail more of my memories of Nancy.



Also attached you will see Nancy's work in Camera Arts Magazine (below) and one of my photographs that she liked very much (above) and which i mailed to her as a Get well card before she passed away in 1984.
Respectfully,
James Cuebas
