SUMMARY:Houston a la Notsuoh: My Search For A Piece Of Historical Houston
DESCRIPTION:Program \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Missy Bosch \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About The Speaker\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Missy Bosch is a Houston native whose love for her city is woven into everything she creates. A graduate of the University of Houston with a degree in sculpture\, Missy has spent decades channeling her passion for art\, craft\, and community into a body of work that feels both timeless and deeply personal. \nFrom her private studio in a renovated downtown building she’s owned since the 90s\, Missy handcrafts laser-cut jewelry\, home décor\, gifts\, and handmade journals — each piece reflecting her fondness for pop culture and her appreciation for the past. A proud member of the Houston Book Arts Guild\, she also shares her craft through bookbinding and box making classes at Red Bird Press and private lessons in her studio. \nBut Missy’s connection to downtown Houston goes beyond her art. In 1996\, she and her husband Jim Pirtle purchased the property at 314 Main Street with a dream of opening a chess-and-coffee gathering place. What followed became something even richer — Notsuoh Bar\, now a beloved downtown institution entering its 30th year\, run as a true family business alongside their daughter Martha. \nWhen she’s not in the studio or at the bar\, Missy can be found near downtown with her partner Mike — catching an Astros game\, taking walks\, or simply soaking in the city she’s always called home.

SUMMARY:Transitioning to Senior Living
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DETAILS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wendy stepped into her role in senior living in Spring of 2018 when helping a friend.

SUMMARY:Jim and Linda's Excellent Adventure to Oman
DESCRIPTION:Program \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Explore the many exotic locations in the country of Oman with Percell as she takes you on a once in a lifetime adventure with her husband Jim.  From the amazing city of Oman to the mountain regions with glorious views\, the gold souk\, and the stunning blue waters near the Strait of Hormuz.  Most interesting of all\, was the 3 weeks stay at a Middle Eastern mansion on an Estate with a zoo\, organic garden\, and our own private villa. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About The Speaker\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In 2010\, after almost 35 years as a dental hygienist\, Percell left private practice and became a full-time educator.She was instrumental in assisting the formation of the Dental Hygiene Program at Houston Community College\, Coleman Campus. Her role was in development in both didactic and clinical areas. While teaching full-time at HCC\, she challenged herself to work toward a master’s degree in Health Sciences with a concentration on Education. After achieving this accomplishment in 2012\, she took a less stressful role as adjunct faculty in the Dental Hygiene Department at Lone Star College in Kingwood. \nAfter retiring in 2016\, she now devotes time to her art focusing on nature. She works with two disparate mediums: graphite and clay. Using graphite\, most of her drawings are of animals. She especially love producing portraits of pets (Pet Portraits by Percell). Her studies with clay feature subjects in nature (Natures Art of Texas). She hand builds or sculpts myriad animals and the natural objects that catch her eye.
