Opposite page: Late artist John Kollock in his studio. Kollock’s wife Nancy and daughter Kathleen with Kollock’s memoir,“Meandering Paths of an Artist.”
Reesa Berkstresser, Kay S. Stanton and Dan Roth, with assistance from Bilbo Books Publishing in Athens. Hours of editing by Priscilla Wilson, who with Janice Lymburner founded The Gourd Place in Sautee, led to the printing of the book by Wendy Colson at Colson Printing in Valdosta. “None of us wanted John to lose his voice,” Nancy says. “The way the book is written, it’s like he’s talking directly to you. It just means so much to us.” In addition to John’s words, numerous sketches from his early life to a few of his watercolor paintings are included. Reproduced newspaper clippings also tell portions of his life’s story. Family photos and significant moments in his life are spread throughout the book. The back section includes dozens of photos designed in the format of a photo album. “We are truly grateful to everyone who contributed to John’s memoirs, but also we sincerely appreciate all the friends we’ve had throughout our lives,” Nancy says. “John would be so pleased.” The Helen Arts and Cultural Center has a room dedicated to John Kollock and his work. “Meandering Paths of an Artist” is also available at The Gourd Place, the Sautee Nacoochee Center, Soque Arts in Clarkesville, the White County Courthouse, Books with Appeal in Cornelia, and by emailing Nancy at saturdayshop@yahoo.com or calling 706-754-9200.
