CLASS PROPHBCY One afternoon in 1955, as I was watching a rodeo in Phoenix, Arizona, I noticed in front of me an artist who was sketching the rodeo. At first I thought she was a cowgirl, but as she turned I saw it was June Quanstrom, now a noted artist. I had heard that she was just back from Europe.
