A Winchester boys' school has honored the official artist
of the film "Gods and Generals," but not for his art. Timber
Ridge School will call its latest dorm the "Mort Kunstler
Residence Hall." Kunstler is well-known for his depictions
of history, especially scenes from the Civil War. But Kunstler
also has provided artwork for Christmas ornaments sold by
the school as a fundraiser.
Kunstler said "as a matter of fact, I talked to a young
man interested in art, and he was showing me his drawings.
It thrills me to death. There's nothing better than teaching
or working with kids."
John Markwood, School Director, said "they say, 'Our dorm
is the bomb, we have all these paintings and everyone else
is going to be jealous...' and to watch him interact with
the students - that's what's really awesome."
The new dorm displays Kunstler's artwork. The school educates
boys who have had a history of behavioral problems.
