 Rie Munoz has been
on Orcas Island for the last couple of months painting
away. She is currently working on a painting that
she may adapt into a silk-screen. We hope to see
new serigraph published sometime late spring, '98.

"Muncie", Rie's faithful canine companion on
Orcas Island and elsewhere, has been a 'bad dog.'
He and the neighbor dog have been chasing the local deer
about the Island. Three times now they have chased
deer into the water. The deer and dogs, both great
swimmers, would head out about a quarter mile into the
channel. The dogs would catch up, then drop back
because they don't know what to do with the deer once
they've caught up with them. Eventually, Rie and
her neighbor would skiff out and break up the
chase.
Munoz and Muncie plan to return to
Juneau by the second week in December and stay the
winter. |

KING ISLAND CHRISTMAS
THEATER PRODUCTION - Juneau's
own Perseverance Theater, which puts on play productions
throughout the year, is currently showing "King
Island Christmas." The play was adapted from
the book by Jean Rogers and illustrated by Rie
Munoz. One of Rie's original illustrations from
the book was used for the poster promoting the
performance. The play is the biggest hit of the
year! Rie, her family and a few friends will go see
the performance before Christmas. |
