Greetings from Sam

Sam herds elk

I created this sub-section of my website for a Road Scholar program, On the Road: The Oregon Coast, California Redwoods & Crater Lake.

Road Scholar is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire adults to learn, discover and travel. Teaching for Road Scholar is a side gig for me. My main profession is cartooning, and as a cartoonist I understand how important copyrights are. Consequently, I have tried to make sure none of these images violate copyrights. If you believe any do violate copyrights, please contact me and I will remove them.
