#8, O.H.S. & the Mural Vandalism (cont'd)

Hello again,

I was recently informed that the Osceola "vandals" are back to their tricks. A faculty member sent me an email saying that someone took a permanent black marker and drew a line about two feet long across the Italian mural.

I was shocked that this could happen inside the school during regular hours. By the way, there is a surveillance camera which is situated within view of the murals, so I do not know why the administrators neglect to check out the recordings to catch the
vandal/vandals.

I would go back to Florida to fix them, but I wonder if it is worth the time, money, and effort to travel 650 miles one way, only to hear that they are still being defaced. In my opinion, I completed my artwork when I signed them in August 2004.

This has been very frustrating and now I have to move on with my life. It is not my duty to repair damage that could have been prevented from the beginning.
