Remembering Roy Burgess, Mystery Artist

Roy Burgess, mystery artist, with NIRMV originator Darlene House.

NIRMV is sad to acknowledge the death of our Mystery Artist. Roy Burgess, a retired engineer extraordinaire, generously shared his drawing talents. He humbly created requested art saluting inspirational musicians and allowed its distribution at public events plus posting on nirmvkids.org. #RIP
